14 arrested across Netherlands for inciting terrorism on social media, including minors
Fourteen individuals between the ages of 14 and 30 were arrested across the Netherlands on Tuesday in connection with multiple investigations into incitement to terrorism through social media. Some of the suspects are minors, according to the Dutch Public Prosecution Service.
The suspects are accused of attempting to incite others to commit terrorist acts, with some of the alleged activity taking place on TikTok. The arrests were carried out in various locations throughout the country and involved multiple regional police units.
The arrests were coordinated by the Landelijk Parket, the national office of the Public Prosecution Service, as part of a broader effort to address terrorism-related offenses carried out online.
Eight of the arrests were made by the Eenheid Landelijke Opsporing en Interventies (National Criminal Investigation and Intervention Unit). Three additional arrests were carried out by the Eenheid Den Haag, two by the Eenheid Rotterdam, and one by the Eenheid Amsterdam.
Authorities did not release further information about the specific locations of the arrests or the suspects’ identities due to the ongoing nature of the investigations and the involvement of minors.
Belgium: After Muslims threw stones at Saint Nick, town cancelled Christmas celebration so as not to offend Muslims
Translation: “In Belgium, the town organized a parade of a Saint Nicholas, who threw candy. One day he received stones in return. The municipality has decided to cancel this celebration so as not to offend Muslims any longer.”
It’s “Islamophobic” to speak of the Islamization of Belgium, and of Europe in general, but it is happening before our very eyes.

At least 1 dead, 3 injured in French school stabbing
April 24 (UPI) -- One student was killed and at least three people were seriously hurt in a stabbing at a school in France on Thursday.
The 15-year-old suspected attacker was arrested at Notre-Dame-de-Toutes-Aides school in Nantes after the student held by a teacher.
According to witnesses speaking to local media, students were running through the school and some were confined to classrooms after an alarm sounded during the attack.
Euronews, citing police sources, said the attacker was a student, but the motive for the stabbings wasn't immediately known.
The attacker allegedly stabbed a female student following an argument on the high school's second floor before stabbing three other people on the school's first floor.
"A knife attack took place this afternoon at a private school in Nantes. I'm going to the scene... to express my solidarity with the victims and my support for the educational community," French Education Minister Elizabeth Borne said on X.
French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau also planned to visit the school Thursday.
The school is part of a complex that includes a primary and middle school as well as the high school where the attack happened.
In February one person was killed and multiple police officers injured in a knife attack in the eastern French city of Mulhouse.
The mayor called it a "terrorist attack" as passers-by were assaulted by a man with a knife.
