Police arrested eight suspected Islamic radicals as part of investigations into the brutal killing of outspoken Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, Dutch prosecutors said today.
The suspects were detained in the 24 hours following Van Gogh’s killing on Tuesday in an Amsterdam street, said prosecution spokeswoman Dop Kruimel.
Six of the detainees are of Moroccan origin, one is Algerian and the last has dual Spanish-Moroccan nationality, Kruimel said.
He said the suspects, whose identities were not released, had previously been detained and released in an investigation into a potential terrorist threat in October 2003.
“The suspects were detained at a number of residences searched in connection with the Van Gogh investigation. They were previously known to us,” she said.
