Police Hurt in Dutch Terror Raid (airspace closed)

[Pert_UK]

"Airspace over The Hague was closed today as police carried out an armed raid on a suspected terror cell.

The city's chief prosecutor, Han Moraal, said the raid - in which three officers were injured by a grenade thrown by the suspects - was part of a "continuing investigation into terrorism".

He refused to comment on whether it was related to the recent murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh by an alleged Islamist militant.

The blast occurred and shots were fired as police raided a house at around 0200 GMT...

One neighbour said she heard a police negotiator tell an apparent suspect in the building to "come out, and nobody will get hurt". But the suspect shouted back: "I'll behead you, I'll behead you," she said."

Wow! An actual raid against terrorists! In the UK we just tend to arrest random guys and then let them go a few weeks later....something tells me that these people were the real deal....
