Dutch arrest man suspected of helping prepare attack on U.S. convoy in Iraq AMSTERDAM, Netherlands Authorities said Wednesday they had arrested a Dutch citizen of Iraqi origin suspected of preparing an attack on a U.S. convoy in Iraq in October 2003.
The man, whose name was not released, was arrested in a raid May 2 on his home in the Dutch city of Amersfoort. National prosecutors said they seized a videotape of the man and several others who allegedly laid mines along a road near Fallujah where a U.S. military convoy was expected to pass. Three other Iraqi immigrants were arrested on the same day in a related operation in other parts of the Netherlands, national prosecutors said in a statement. The prosecutors said it was unknown whether the mines shown in the video had been detonated or had caused casualties. The video showed masked men describing an operation to target U.S. troops near Fallujah. The tape's Arabic-language commentary said: "these are the explosives. The American vehicles travel over this road. As they approach, we can detonate them with a remote control from a distance of 500 meters, so our people won't be in any danger." It was not immediately clear how the suspect was identified as one of the masked men in the video. In a statement, the prosecutors office said none of the men were suspected of preparing an attack in the Netherlands. Material seized in the raid included guns, ammunition, telephones and a computer. "A large number of CD-ROMs were found with amateur footage of suicide attacks that apparently took place in Iraq," the statement said. The prosecution statement said Dutch police had consulted with American authorities about the arrest. 050608 163003 Copyright 2005 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
