    Classified By: Andrew J. Schofer, Acting DCM, for Reasons 1.4(b) and (d
    )

    ¶1. (C) SUMMARY: In the largest single counter-terrorism
    action in the Netherlands since the 9/11 attacks, a newly
    formed rapid intervention team arrested six men and one woman
    in The Hague, Amsterdam and Almere on October 14. Among
    those arrested were Jermaine Walters, the brother of
    (American) Hofstad suspect Jason Walters, and Samir Azzouz, a
    Dutch teenager or Moroccan origin acquitted in April of
    plotting attacks on Amsterdam airport, a nuclear reactor and
    Dutch governmental buildings. END SUMMARY.

    ¶2. (C) The public prosecutors office confirmed that the
    sweeps netted seven suspects, including four in The Hague,
    two in Amsterdam, and one in Almere. News of the arrests is
    dominating local media. A press spokesperson at the
    prosecutors' office confirmed to us the arrest of Jermaine
    Walters, but stressed the prosecutors' office would not
    confirm that information publicly. The spokesperson told
    Emboff that the seven will appear in a Rotterdam court on
    October 17 on charges of terrorist activities, including
    planning terrorist attacks on politicians and the offices of
    the Dutch intelligence service (AIVD) in Leidschendam. No
    weapons have yet been discovered, according to the spokesman,
    but investigations and house searches continue.

    ¶3. (C) The Office of the Counter-Terrorism Coordinator
    (NCTb) ordered security tightened today around a number of
    politicians, Parliament, AIVD offices, and both the Justice
    and Interior Ministries. AIVD information indicating that
    Azzouz was seeking automatic weapons and explosives to carry
    out attacks on politicians and Dutch government buildings,
    reported by the press and public prosecutors' office,
    prompted the move. NCTb officials would not comment on which
    politicians received additional protection. Although Dutch
    intelligence reports indicated that only the AIVD building
    was targeted specifically, the NCTb bolstered security at the
    other sites as a precaution, according to the spokesperson at
    the prosecutors office. A senior NCTb official, Ewald Riks,
    told us the security would likely stay in place a few days
    until the threat had been removed.

    ¶4. (C) There was some disagreement over the impact of the
    arrests on the Hofstad group. National Counter-Terrorism
    Coordinator Tjibbe Joustra told Charge that today's arrests,
    combined with the previous arrests of some 10 suspected
    Hofstad members currently on trial for their membership in
    this alleged terrorist organization, meant that a substantial
    part of the group was now in custody. He added, however,
    that of course you never know if you have them all; it is a
    very loose network. Interior Minister Remkes separately
    told reporters that the threat has not disappeared but the
    immediate threat has been removed, adding that despite
    earlier arrests, the Hofstad group is growing in size.

    ¶5. (C) According to NCTb's Riks, no shots were fired and no
    injuries were sustained in the raids, conducted by the rapid
    intervention team. This was the first major use of the
    combined military and police team, designed specifically for
    counter-terrorism actions. The team was recently empowered
    with arrest authority.

    ¶6. (C) The GONL has no plans to raise either the national
    threat level in the Netherlands, currently considered
    substantial, or the state of alert for any of the seven
    critical infrastructure sectors included in the Netherlands'
    new counter-terrorism alert system.

    ¶7. (C) The GONL told us there are no known direct threats
    towards U.S. interests at this time. The Embassy and
    Consulate are already in a heightened state of alert and will
    maintain their current security posture. All Mission
    personnel have been reminded to remain vigilant and report
    any suspicious activities to the local authorities and the
    RSO. Post is prepared to initiate appropriate steps should
    the local threat environment change.
