Summary Terrorist Threat Assessment Netherlands 22

The threat level in the Netherlands continues to be ‘limited’. Recent developments in the Netherlands and abroad broadly endorse the trends that were outlined in the previous Terrorist Threat Assessment Netherlands. The profile of the Netherlands continues to fit the international jihadist enemy image (see also the 21nd National Terrorist Threat Assessment Netherlands). In this context, it is a fact that the risk of terrorist attacks on Dutch interests, as a part of Western interests, has been higher for some time in areas close to jihadist hotspots including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, North Africa, Somalia, and the Arabic Peninsula.
