Terrorist Threat Assessement for the Netherlands December 2024

There is a real chance of a terrorist attack in the Netherlands. The National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security (NCTV) is therefore maintaining the threat level at 4 (substantial) on a scale of 1 to 5. This is due in part to the persistently high threat of jihadism. Young people who are sympathetic to right-wing terrorist and jihadist ideas also appear to be becoming radicalised online faster and more frequently. The speed at which this is happening is a cause for concern. The December 2024 edition of the Terrorist Threat Assessment for the Netherlands released today warns that several hundred young Dutch people are estimated to be active in right-wing extremist and jihadist online circles.
