British 'terrorist suspect' is arrested at Schiphol

Sunday 19 September 2010

A British man of Somali origin was arrested at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport on Sunday morning on suspicion of having connections with a terrorist organisation.

The public prosecution service said the man was removed from a plane which was ready for take off by the military police. The man, who has not been further identified, arrived at Schiphol from Liverpool in the UK and was on his way to Entebbe in Uganda when he was arrested.

Two Yemenis arrested in Amsterdam on suspicion of planning a terror attack were released earlier this month.

Earlier this month, two Yemenis were arrested at Schiphol on suspicion of planning a terror attack but were released a few days later without being charged.
