They’re identified in the article below as “two Dutchmen,” but “a link could exist between these arrests and the arrest in Eindhoven, the same day, of 7 young people of Chechen origin, also suspected of preparing attacks in Belgium.” It is likely that the jihadis do not think of themselves as Dutch at all, but as citizens of the supranational umma.
“Two young people under 20 arrested in the Netherlands: they were preparing an attack targeting Belgium,” translated from “Deux jeunes de moins de 20 ans arrêtés aux Pays-Bas: ils préparaient un attentat visant la Belgique,” RTL Info, June 8, 2023 (thanks to Medforth):
A 16-year-old man was arrested at his home early last month and remains in custody. Earlier this week, another 19-year-old was also arrested, the prosecution said.
According to information from our colleagues at HLN, the two men contacted each other via messaging to prepare an attack targeting Belgium in particular. At the time of writing, we still do not know the reason for these discussions between the two Dutchmen and why they were targeting the country.
A link could exist between these arrests and the arrest in Eindhoven, the same day, of 7 young people of Chechen origin, also suspected of preparing attacks in Belgium.
The prosecution explains that the 16-year-old will remain in detention at least until mid-June.

They are not Dutch. They are not refugees. They are killer cells which the crazed Liberals and unpatriotic politicians have allowed into the country to wreak mayhem.

That’s what I want to know. Why would a random handful of young men decide to attack Belgium?…..Belgium? They may have a foreign policy but they don’t use it. They may have a culture but it’s neighbors say they stole it. They eat pork, but so do the French. They drink but Muslims do that all the time, behind closed doors where other Muslims can’t see and tattle.
“Do I smell alcohol on your breath Achmed?”
“I don’t know. Can you see it?”
“We have 4 witnesses here to you being drunk. I’m telling the imam and he’s going to tell the whip guy.”

They are simply muslims, doesn’t matter if they are Dutch, British, or whatever. The common denominator of almost all of the terrorists in the world is they are muslims who follow the teaching of Islam.
