(Reuters) Dutch prosecutors said on Tuesday they had arrested two men on suspicion of preparing an Islamist militant attack with “bomb vests or one or more car bombs” in the Netherlands.
Police conducting a raid on one suspect’s house seized a dagger, a throwing axe, a mobile phone and computer chips in a hidden space, though no explosives were found, according to a prosecutors’ statement.
It said police acted on a tip-off from the Dutch national intelligence agency AIVD that “said the suspects intended to carry out a jihadist attack … They were said to be planning to use explosives and undergo training to use them.”
