Update

The 19-year-old student Tarik Z. insisted last night with a gun studio NOS inside, just before the evening news would begin. He took a porter hostage and demanded airtime to discuss “major world affairs”

.

Z’s house last night by Police searched. According to a fellow student is the suspect in the first year of a chemistry course at both the University of Delft and Leiden. “He came to me as a quiet and intelligent boy,” said the fellow.

Z. stuck. He is suspected of unlawful detention and possession of weapons. It was later revealed that the gun he was carrying was fake, but according to the police it was “not real ones.

Cyber ​​Attack
NOS -verslaggever Martijn Bink told the slotted NOS broadcast that the man was carrying a letter. That letter, which quickly circulated on social media, would contain the following text: “When you read this, do not panic. Do not go crying and tell your colleagues not. Pretend there’s nothing to worry about. I’m heavily armed. If you cooperate just neat, then you will get hurt. ”

“Know that I am not on my own. There are still five plus 98 hackers who are ready for a cyber attack. Moreover, there are eight heavy explosives in this country placed containing radioactive material. If you do not bring it to me eight studio to record a broadcast, we are compelled to take action on. You do not want to you have known it? So I now escorted to Studio 8, NIS studio, “the text in the letter.

On Black
Z. the property is received by threatening a security guard with a gun. The staff was immediately removed from the building at the Journal Square. Outside the building then were about 70 to 80 people.

“Shocking that suddenly someone in the studio is that suddenly demands something, responded NIS chief Marcel Gelauff. “The whole public broadcasting is affected.” Also director Jan de Jong called the incident “horrible” and “bizarre.” He applauded the professionalism of the people in the building, who called 112 and the police “that the man has very quickly overpowered.

Many reaped praise the security guard – who remained remarkably calm against the intruder talk – but also Hans Bezembinder, employed by the NOS as a shift engineer. He led Z. to a studio that was not in use and put a camera, so everything was recorded on tape.

On the recorded images is to hear how the door and Z. go with each call. “You will remain cool, which I think is great,” said Z. “I’m just as nervous as you are,” answers the door. ‘Men among themselves. But I really want to go home. ” After some words over and over again – the door remains remarkably quiet all this time – Z. explains exactly what he intends.

Great World Affairs
“The things that will be said to be very large or world affairs,” he says. “We are, say, hired by intelligence, and we have heard things that challenge contemporary society. And we are going to bring out. Such evil people we are not. We do this for the ordinary citizen. ” Not much later, police stormed the studio where Tarik Z. and the door stood. Z dropped his weapon and surrendered.

This morning, the editors of the NOS just went back to work. “It raises all kinds of emotions, and some time will be needed to process it. But now we’re just going to do our work: create programs, “says editor Marcel Gelauff.
