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.
