Terror Suspects Jailed in Rotterdam

(Rotterdam, Netherlands) Three men were arrested on New Year's Eve for planning a terrorist attack.
No details of the planned attack have been released but the suspects' detention has been extended by 14 days. Police say they found incriminating evidence in the men's homes but no weapons or explosives.

Two of the suspects are Dutch nationals of Moroccan origin and the third is a Sudanese national who is thought to be an illegal immigrant to the Netherlands.
Another source provides this:
The Telegraaf newspaper on Thursday quoted inside sources as saying the men were planning an attack during the New Year celebrations around Rotterdam's Erasmus bridge. But the public prosecution department has dismissed the allegations as being 'plucked from thin air' and criticsed the paper for causing unnecessary panic.
No names have been disclosed, just their ages, 31, 32 and 39.
