The arrests took place in Rotterdam on Friday night. Police were acting on a tip from the Dutch intelligence and security service, the AIVD, the public prosecutor said.

"The (AIVD) message reports that a number of Somalis wanted to make a terrorist attack in the Netherlands soon," the prosecutor said.

A telephone shop and four houses were searched in the terror raid in Rotterdam, along with two motel rooms in the south of the country, but no weapons or explosives were found. Six of the 12 men, aged 19 to 48, lived in Rotterdam. Five others had no fixed address and one man had traveled to the Netherlands from Denmark.

Under threat

Islamic extremists have called for violence against the Netherlands in revenge for anti-Islam statements made by the far-right politician Geert Wilders. Wilders described Islam as a "fascist ideology" and called the prophet Muhammad a "barbarian, mass murderer and a pedophile."
The Dutch minority government is dependent on the support of Wilders and his party
Wilders Freedom Party has a growing influence in the country and currently backs the minority Liberal-Christian Democrat coalition government.

"Jihadists consider the Netherlands as a legitimate target because of the Dutch presence in Afghanistan, even while our mission has ended," a spokeswoman for the Dutch counterterrorism unit NCTb said. "The tougher Islam debate is also a factor that shapes jihadists' view of the Netherlands."

Officials did not say when or where the attack was allegedly planned to take place. The men were still be interrogated on Saturday.

I wonder if they're part of the same Somali groups who fled Somali over the years many of whom were granted immigration permission to move to the US many of whom ended up in Minnesota, some of whom decided to kil Santa going to Head Start?

Thats the way for Islam to get accepted by the rest of the non Islamic world. ONE person says something bad about your "religion" and its time to destroy the entire country and hold everyone accountable.

I'm from Minneapolis MN, we have the largest population of Somali Muslims then any other city I believe. And they have been throwing their weight around trying to get rid of Christmas far more then with Head Start. They are also some of the rudist on the bus's also.

You reap what you sow. Lax immigration laws.......
