Lawyer Serge Weening said Monday in court in Rotterdam that the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) incited Hardi N. to commit an attack in the Netherlands. According to Weening, his client was so influenced that incitement can be spoken of.
In June, the prosecutor's office (OM) demanded up to 20 years in prison against a group of men for planning a terrorist attack. N. is seen as the leader of that group and heard eighteen years demanded against him.
