Dutch man behind terror scare was trying to catfish terrorists - BNO News
Published 2 hours ago on April 19, 2019 By BNO News

A man who caused a major security scare at a concert venue in the Netherlands was trying to catfish terrorists, but the man in Spain he was targeting was also pretending, prosecutors revealed on Friday. All charges have been dropped.

The incident happened in August 2017 when Dutch police received information from their Spanish colleagues about a possible terror threat at the Maassilo concert venue in Rotterdam. The venue was evacuated and a concert by American rock band Allah-Las was canceled.

Heavily-armed police responded and while nothing was found initially, they later noticed a Spanish van which was driving suspiciously and was found to contain a number of gas canisters. The driver was arrested and released the next day when it was determined he was innocent.

These 3 twitter "breaking news" accounts are pretty darn good. I prefer the latter two more.
