Dutch sentence two for ammo in foiled French attack plot

(AFP) Dutch judges on Monday sentenced two men to one year and nine months respectively over ammunition provided for use in a foiled 2016 terror attack in France.

Five suspects were charged after Dutch police raided a home in the western port of Rotterdam three years ago where they seized more than 3,500 rounds of ammunition.

“It has been proven that the two men worked as intermediaries in the delivery of the ammunition,” the Rotterdam district court [said].

It did not give names of the men, aged 33 and 28.

Three other suspects were released due to lack of evidence, while a sixth suspect was released earlier in the case.
