(NL Times) Nine men were arrested in Eindhoven on Thursday under suspicion of preparing to commit a terrorist act, and training to perpetrate the crime. The nine suspects allegedly sympathize with the jihadist principles of ISIS, the Public Prosecution Service (OM) said on Friday.
The men in custody are 18 to 31 years of age. “The suspects have Dutch nationality. Eight of them were born in the Netherlands, one of them was born in Afghanistan,” the OM said.
“They are also suspected of participating in a terrorist organization.” No weapons or explosives were found after a search of the suspects’ homes, but several data devices were seized by authorities.
