(Dutch News) An unknown number of Dutch nationals may have ended up on a US list of terrorism suspects even though they are not under suspicion of extremism in the Netherlands, according to research by investigative website Follow the Money.
The problem dates back to 2012 when thousands of radical youngsters left Europe for Syria to join jihadist movements such as IS.
Since then the police and security services have kept a register naming those who have left plus their family members and friends. The LOP list also includes youngsters who were not radical but whom the police feared could get caught up in jihadist groups.
