(NL Times) The deadly attack in the German city of Solingen, which was claimed by the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS), “unfortunately also fits into the current threat picture in the Netherlands,” Minister David van Weel (Justice and Security) wrote on X.
Van Weel refers to the latest threat assessment by the National Counter-Terrorism and Security Coordinator (NCTV). The NCTV wrote in June that the risk of an attack in the Netherlands has risen slightly in the last six months. The second-highest threat level has been in place since December, which means there is a real chance of an attack.
