mccordia 74 #1 December 4, 2002 Holland is a mess at the moment. Since yesterday-evening there have been numerous bombthreats, a lot of IKEA stores had bomb-calls. A policestation had a bomb go off (not a heavy one luckely) and the dutch press-agency is closed at the moment due to a bomb (and gues who works only a short distance away from there...:( WTF is going on here?JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

mccordia 74 #3 December 4, 2002 Bomb calls are quite normal, but they've already found 2 bombs, and one already went off, which is what makes it a bit scary. These aint kids placing prank-calls, but people who are realy out to hurt someone. Why they'd take on IKEA...no idea...could be some idiot. But the fact that they've placed a bomb in the Dutch News Agency AND the fact that there are several bombs throughout the country shows that it's not a single idiot, but something bigger... And unless it's a 20 megaton bomb we'll be pretty safe here, but we can probably hear the bang if the damn thing blows...JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

mccordia 74 #6 December 4, 2002 The Ikea thing might be some mad man, but the two bombs they found in the Dutch news agency ANP sound a lot more serious (they are heavy ones) Kinda funny, the Dutch media is scared to even mention the word moslim or terrorism. There have been threats made last week by some wierd ass leader that this (bombing) would happen if Holland didn't release a few moslims from jail...curious to know weather this is related or not...JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

skybytch 273 #11 December 4, 2002 I don't get it... isn't Holland a pretty neutral country? Hope they catch the losers doing this very soon. Be careful over there... we're thinking about you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 74 #12 December 4, 2002 QuoteWhat next....oooh at a guess, some hoax calls to Schiphol for maximum chaos. My gues would be something that stalls all trains. because most IKEA building are next to big roads traffic chaos is already happening because everyone tries to travel via small secondairy roads, result everyone stuck. If somehow the trains where to stop, the whole country would be on it's ass :)JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
falxori 0 #13 December 4, 2002 Quote isn't Holland a pretty neutral country? yes, but also a part of the western world which makes it a not so neutral country to some. anyway, a part of the terrorists goals is to have a big fear effect, and there is no better way to do that than by striking in unexpected places. hope the rest of the alerts are nothing but a hoax O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

nacmacfeegle 0 #14 December 4, 2002 "If somehow the trains where to stop, the whole country would be on it's ass :) " Thats the whole point of guerilla type warfare, maximum disruption for minimum effort. It doesn't take a very big bomb to cripple signalling, or points on a railway system. Even the threat of a bomb at say Amsterdam Centraal would require a massive evacuation, and sunbsequent disruption.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

I know this sounds a bit harsh, but when these type of threats are made, I think the govenrment's policy should be to immediately execute the prisoners.
