Dutch anti-terrorism unit foils terrorist attack in the Netherlands

Two men will appear in court on Thursday charged with preparing a terrorist attack, the public prosecution department has confirmed.

One man aged 20 was arrested at his home in Zoetermeer on Monday by heavily armed police officers. The second man, also from Zoetermeer and aged 34, was arrested on a public street in The Hague.

Both were picked up following a tip-off by the security services that an attack was being planned.

The prosecution department suspects the men of plotting to use suicide bomb belts and car bombs in the attacks, which were set to take place at the end of the year. No targets have been identified and no explosives or guns were found during searches of their homes.
