The suspect behind the deadly explosion at Tarwekamp street in The Hague admitted he orchestrated the attack to seek revenge on his ex-girlfriend after discovering she had been unfaithful. He told police, “I wanted to pay her back.” The trial against Moshtag B. begins this Friday, and based on police files, NOS has reconstructed the events leading up to the explosion. Moshtag B. claimed he discovered she had cheated on him, which “offended his honor.” He allegedly threatened his ex-girlfriend, saying he could arrange for people to set things on fire and ruin her financially. They tracked Moshtag B. back to the Netherlands, where they saw him disposing of trash bags containing an iPhone 15, Cobra fireworks, and receipts for the jerrycans. Mourad B. has remained silent regarding his involvement, while Ilias B. denies any role, stating, “I didn’t play with gasoline and didn’t blow things up with Cobra fireworks.”
