Killed Attacker of Amsterdam Policemen Linked to Plan to Blow Up El Al Plane at Amsterdam Airport


The English website of the Israeli daily Haaretz discusses Dutch media reactions on the issue of the killed attacker of Amsterdam policemen. It quotes a Dutch media report based on Dutch intelligence services information in 2005 that the attacker and a group of young Moroccans in Amsterdam had been planning to shoot down an El Al plane at Amsterdam airport. An informant was quoted as saying that the attacker's brother was also involved in the plot. The attacker had been released from a mental hospital with an escort two days before he severely wounded the two policemen, but had slipped his guard.
