Is there a terrorist threat in the Netherlands?
The threat level for the Netherlands remains at the level of limited. This means that the chance of an attack against the Netherlands is small, but that it certainly cannot be entirely excluded. The national and international trends that have been recognised in the recent period remain in line with the conclusions in the previous threat assessment. The profile of the Netherlands continues to fit the image of enemy of international jihad. The fact that in view of this Dutch interests abroad are more vulnerable to the risk terrorist attacks also remains unchanged. This includes Dutch interests during the World Cup in South Africa. In addition, the threat against the Netherlands itself still mainly comes from transnational networks that could mainly manifest themselves via Dutch or European jihadists returning from training camps or areas of conflict. Because of these reasons the threat level against the Netherlands remains limited.
