The alleged ringleader of a Dutch terror cell accused of plotting a major attack was out on probation when he was arrested yesterday, it has been revealed.
Hardi N., 34, who was born in Iraq but lived in Arnhem, was initially jailed for 16 months in 2016 for trying to join Al Qaeda in Syria, but was released after less than a year after claiming to have renounced his extremist views.
