Radical Muslims' Gathering Prevented
The police prevented an outdoor gathering of a group of radical Muslims, in Segbroek, a district of The Hague. As reported by the NOS, five men were arrested because they refused to identify themselves. The police action was, according to a spokesman, associated with minor skirmishes.
The police was alerted last week about a possible meeting after problems occurred at an earlier meeting of the group. Pictures published in social media showed a group of radical Muslims in a football field with the logo of ADO Den Haag. One of the participants was waving a flag of the Islamic terror group ISIS.
In consultation with the municipality and the Public Prosecution Service (OM), the police decided to act on the meeting on Sunday.
