(NL Times) Two Syrian brothers were arrested in a small Limburg town on accusations they were preparing to commit a terrorist act. The men were taken into custody by the DSI tactical unit that specializes in the intervention of terrorist threats, or arresting people who may have ready access to firearms.
The two men, aged 20 and 22, were arrested in Stein on Wednesday evening, and the arrest was confirmed a day later. The town of 25,000 people is wedged between Geleen and the Belgian border.
“During the arrest and subsequent search of the suspects’ home, no weapons or explosives were found,” the Public Prosecution Service said.
