On Wednesday, the Rotterdam court has extended the provisional detention of the 5 suspects who stand accused of enlisting/recruiting muslims for an international jihad.
The lawyers of the suspects, 4 men and a woman, requested of the judge to lift the provisional detention or suspend it. According to the members of council, there would be insufficient incriminatory material against the suspects. The court did not comply with their request.
<b>Prison</b>
The suspects are custody in the heavily guarded terrorist-department in Vught (men) and the prison De Schie in Rotterdam (women). The judge did not grant hearing to their request to leave it at the regular provisional detention-sentence.
The judge was in agreement with the Public Ministry (OM). The thus-far known information about the manner of recruitment into the violent religious-war was the determining factor.
<b>Jihad-soldier</b>
Thanks to a tip of the intelligences services AIVD in November 2006, the Nationale Recherche [National Investigation] got onto the scent of the recruiting practices. The suspects would have recruited 3 young men from The Hague to take part in the holy war as jihad-soldier.
The three men travelled to Bakoe, the capital of Azerbaijan. There they were arrested by the police who had in the mean time been informed. The men were not prosecuted and were brought back to The Netherlands by the Hague police.
From investigation, it turned out that the trio was recruited by vindictive and inciting/inflammatory films. The 'duty' to take part in the holy war was also pointed out [to them].
<b>Arrests</b>
At the start of November, the Nationale Recherche arrested 5 men and a woman in Amsterdam and the Hague. The sextet consisted of 2 Maroccans, a Turkish person, a Tunisian and 2 Dutch people of foreign origin. For the 5th man, the provisional detention was suspended earlier. The OM (Public Ministry) would still like him to appear before the bench.
One of the suspects, Murat O, would have approached them for the jihad. Another suspect, Mohamed M., were to help O with the training of the recuited jihad-soldiers. A third suspect, Mohamed W., would have carried out the administrative transactions.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->See image at http://www.elsevier.nl/artimg/200702/Jihad.jpg
