Man faces terrorism charges for planning attack on vaccination centre
Dutch NewsPolice have arrested a man who they say was planning to attack a coronavirus vaccination location with a firework bomb in the naval town of Den Helder. The man, who is 37, comes from Den Helder himself and is suspected of planning a terrorist attack on the former town hall, which is now used as a vaccination centre, the public prosecution department said in a statement. The man’s aim, the public prosecution department says, was to ‘terrify the population and disrupt the country’s economic and social structures.’ The vaccination programme is a crucial government process which the man was planning to sabotage in a violent way, the department said. A month ago, an explosive went off outside a coronavirus test centre in Bovenkarspel and there have also been incidents in Breda, Beek en Donk, Urk and Hilversum.
