THE HAGUE: Police in the Netherlands and Germany have arrested two men for allegedly recruiting jihadi fighters to go to Iraq and Syria, Dutch police said yesterday.
A woman was also held with the man arrested in Germany as part of a long-running investigation, police said in a statement.
All three are from The Hague and are accused of inciting hatred through social media and plotting terror attacks, police said, likely referring to help allegedly given to would-be Islamist fighters to reach the Middle East.
“The two male suspects are suspected of recruiting for the armed terrorist struggle in Syria and/or Iraq and conspiring to commit murder with terrorist intent,” the statement said.
Dutch police said they raided four homes as part of the operation.
