(NL Times) Terrorist movement al-Qaeda recently threatened various persons and organizations, including Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders, NOS reports based on a statement in the hands of French newspaper Le Monde. The statement was written by the Al-Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), and mentions Wilders by name, according to the broadcaster.
The statement from AQAP, a Yemeni and Saudi branch of the militant group, consists of five pages in Arabic. “There is an appeal to carry out attacks on Charlie Hebdo, on the Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders and on Danish and Swedish cartoonists,” Le Monde reported. AQAP made a single specific reference to “the Dutch criminal named Geert Wilders,” a Le Monde journalist confirmed. The PVV leader is not further mentioned.
