(AFP) Dutch police said they were investigating a terrorist motive for the Utrecht tram attack, as they arrested a new suspect on Tuesday over the deadly shooting.
Authorities said they had found a suspicious letter in a getaway car used by Turkish-born main suspect Gokmen Tanis, 37, which made them “seriously” consider terrorism might have been involved in Monday’s rampage in which three people were killed and seven injured.
Armed counter-terrorism officers meanwhile arrested one new suspect, aged 40, in Utrecht who was “suspected of being involved in the shooting incident,” prosecutors said, adding that his “role was being further investigated.”
Two other men who were arrested Monday in connection with the shooting had been released, prosecutors added.
