Summary Terrorist Threat Assessment Netherlands 31

The threat level in the Netherlands remains for the time being ‘limited’. This means that the chance of a terrorist attack is slight, but cannot be ruled out. The threat level is thus unaltered since November 2009. The threat to the Netherlands is still primarily jihadist in nature. Nevertheless, over the past 18 months the security authorities have also regularly identified other types of threats in parts of Europe, such as ‘lone wolves’ and extreme rightwing terrorists. Although there are no indications of these threats spreading to the Netherlands, there does appear to be a change of the overall terrorist threat to Europe, at least for the time being.
