Portugal detains 'Islamic extremist' wanted in the Netherlands 13/02 02:29 PM (GMT) ATTENTION -police quote, details /// � 2006 AFP LISBON (AFP) - Portuguese police said Monday they had detained an Islamic extremist who is one of the Netherland's most wanted men because of his suspected links to terrorist activities. The man, who was not named, took part in terrorist training camps in Yemen and is thought to have contacts with the alleged network of terrorists known as the "Hofstad" group, police said in a statement. He was one of three men detained in Portugal over the past week who are wanted in the Netherlands in connection with a shooting late last year at a Rotterdam nightclub which left three dead and three more seriously injured. The three men are believed to have opened fire inside the establishment on another group with whom they allegedly had illegal dealings, striking several innocent bystanders. Police did not give the nationalities of the three men. Two of the men were arrested on Sunday in Amadora, a suburb of Lisbon that is home to a large immigrant population, while a third was detained a few days earlier as he prepared to flee to an undisclosed African country, police said. "One of the three pulled a loaded, illegal gun at the time of his detention," the police statement said. The Netherlands has already sought the extradition of the man who is suspected of having attended the Yemen training camps, it said, adding that the suspect is a convert to Islam. Fourteen young Muslims, mostly of north African origin, are currently on trial in the Netherlands for alleged membership of the Hofstad group. The name Hofstad is a nickname for the Dutch city of The Hague where several of the men were arrested. -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
