NCTV acknowledges using refugee routes by jihadists – NU.nl

That says National Coordinator for Counterterrorism Dick Schoof Monday on the basis of their periodic Terrorist Threat Assessment Netherlands. “Although we kept in mind, it seemed unlikely to us that it would really happen.”

A bomber in Paris has used this route, and he appears not alone. In some cases, also applied for asylum in Europe, possibly the Netherlands. “We can not determine nor rule,” said Schoof.

How many people are involved, Schoof can not say. “It’s more than a few times happened, but not hundreds of times” Because the route is no longer used by refugees, the threat is no longer current.

In September said both the AIVD and NCTV that no signals were told that IS fighters from refugee routes came to the Netherlands

Threat

The probability that there is an attack shortly in the Netherlands remains real. Concrete evidence of an actual attack are not.

The threat is still “substantial”, which is level 4 on a scale of 5. Since last year there is an “increasing links” adopted in the Netherlands, such as the arrests in Rotterdam in French research into a possible network wanted to commit an attack in France.

“The past period has shown a lot of attacks,” said. “Paris, Brussels, Orlando, Istanbul, ‘he summed up.” All attacks which we can imagine that they also happen here. “



Uitreizigers

takes Since early 2016 number uitreizigers towards Syria and Iraq from the Netherlands off. in total, there uitgereisd approximately 260 people since 2012. Forty of them have returned to the Netherlands, 42 people were killed. There are currently still about 170 persons from the Netherlands in Syria and Iraq, including women and minors.

They are counted as can assume the threat of them. Children aged 9 years who have traveled are counted since may 1 because it is found that iS their commitment to violence.

polarization

the report can feed the growing polarization in Europe radicalization and extremism. the vigorous ongoing debate about the racist content of the Netherlands was accompanied by insults and threats. the arrival of refugees is accompanied by the fear of terrorism, which has led to increasingly open activities of the extreme right.

In a response takes the opposition of extreme left against asylum and against the extreme right also increased since May 2015. The number of reports of anti-Muslim incidents also increased.

A bomber in Paris this route used, and thus appears not alone. In some cases, also applied for asylum in Europe, possibly the Netherlands. “We can not determine nor rule,” said Schoof.

How many people are involved, Schoof can not say. “It’s more than a few times happened, but not hundreds of times” Because the route is no longer used by refugees, the threat is no longer current.
