Dutch Police Arrest 7 in "Major" Terror Plot

Following a months-long investigation, Dutch police have arrested seven men they believe were plotting to carry out a major terrorist attack against "a large event in the Netherlands," according to NPR .

The criminal investigation began in April 2018 with information from the General Intelligence and Security Service.

The plan was presumed to involve an attack with bombs and Kalashnikov AK-47s at an event and detonating a car bomb at another location, according to a statement released by Dutch authorities.

During their arrest, the men were in possession of five small arms, authorities said.

The suspects were to be brought before the judge-commissioner in Rotterdam on Friday.
