A concert in the Dutch city of Rotterdam was canceled Wednesday after police, acting on a terrorism tip from Spanish authorities, stopped a van with gas bottles inside.

The van, which had Spanish plates, was stopped near The Maassilo, which had planned to host the California-based band, the Allah-Las.

In a statement released by Dutch police, the driver was identified only as a Spanish national. Police also did not detail what kind of gas the containers were for.

Big story I heard about, I grabbed the first story to come up in a search.

So, their name could be construed as sacrilege to some. It's an angle to the story.  I don't think they undertook the name to be offensive. Most of us would not know of this band so would we expect terrorists too?? Still, it would have been pretty bad if this alleged white van bomb went off.
