Afghan named as main suspect in The Hague explosion that left 6 dead, 4 others injured

by Thomas Brooke, Remix News, January 24, 2025:

The Dutch Public Prosecution Service (OM) has identified the four suspects in the deadly explosion at Tarwekamp in The Hague last month after a deliberate blast targeting a bridal fashion store caused catastrophic destruction resulting in the death of six people and leaving four others seriously injured.

In a statement on Friday, the OM named Afghan-born 33-year-old Moshtag B. as the main suspect, who is believed to have been aided and abetted by Ilyas (23), Mourad (29), and Adil (33).

De Telegraaf newspaper reported the men as being from Rotterdam, Roosendaal, and Oosterhout. No further details about the identities of the men or their migration background were disclosed.

Reporting restrictions surrounding the suspects were lifted on Friday.

According to the OM, Moshtag B. initiated the attack targeting the bridal fashion store. The suspect allegedly knew the store owner and sought help from his three accomplices. Together, they prepared and executed the arson and explosion on Dec. 7, and the three accomplices were reportedly offered €500 each to torch the premises.

The blast left six people dead, four others seriously injured, and displaced dozens of residents who are still unable to return home and are unlikely to be able to do so for months due to the extensive structural damage inflicted.

The suspects had reportedly planned to carry out the attack earlier, on the night of Dec. 1. However, their plans were thwarted when police stopped their van in a parking lot in Oosterhout at 2:15 a.m. The vehicle’s suspicious behavior prompted officers to conduct a search, during which they found heavy fireworks and jerry cans filled with gasoline. The suspects, however, were released after questioning...

In my estimate, that makes the police morally complicit in this horrible act of terrorism. 

Bumping into a Muslim can be a pain in the neck, if it doesn't kill you.

Austria: Islamic State threatens jihad massacres at traditional Viennese balls

Is Europe going to submit meekly to the destruction of its culture and traditions at the hands of Islamic jihadis? Apparently yes.

In Vienna, the traditional ball season is targeted by terrorist threats

translated from “À Vienne, la traditionnelle saison des bals est visée par des menaces terroristes,” by Dominique Corbiau, RTBF Actus, January 24, 2025:

According to statements by the Austrian police, the traditional Viennese balls have been threatened by the terrorist organization Islamic State. Reinforced protection measures have been put in place for several events.

The Viennese ball season, which takes place until the end of February and attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world to the capital’s most beautiful venues, is placed under high protection this year. The police have indeed declared that members of the terrorist organization “Islamic State,” which regularly spread messages on the Internet calling for attacks during major events in the United States and Europe, had specifically mentioned Vienna and its balls.

The season that began on November 11th is punctuated by some highlights such as the Confectioners’ Ball at the Hofburg Palace (January 16th), that of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in the halls of the Musikverein (which took place yesterday, January 23rd), or that of the Vienna Opera (which will take place this Monday, February 27th), the most prestigious of all these dance events.

And for this 67th edition of its annual ball, the Staatsoper has called upon two stars of the lyrical world, the American soprano Nadine Sierra and the Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Flóres who will be accompanied by the Vienna State Orchestra.

An evening that will also highlight the students of the Staatsoper’s dance academy, who will perform a brand new creation by the director of dance and choreographer, Martin Schläpfer.

And as has been the case for the past two years, this 2025 edition of the Vienna Opera Ball will focus on conveying a strong message of social responsibility and solidarity, since part of the sale price of tickets and drinks during the evening will benefit the “Österreich hilft Österreich” (Austria helps Austria) initiative, which supports various charitable organizations at the national level.
