US ask for privacy for terror victims

The American embassy asks everyone to respect the privacy of the two Americans who were wounded on Friday in the terrorist attack on Amsterdam CS.

A statement from the embassy that was posted on the website on Sunday asks for privacy 'for the victims and their families during this difficult time. 'The American embassy says to work closely with the Netherlands' in the fight against all forms of terrorism. '' If necessary, we are ready to help with the research. '

The victims paid a visit to the Netherlands. They are seriously injured in the hospital but are approachable. It seems that they were randomly chosen by the suspect.

S. was shot by the police. He is wounded in the hospital and is being interrogated. The police assume that he deliberately traveled to Amsterdam and acted alone. On Monday, S. is brought before the examining magistrate, who decides whether he will remain stuck for longer.
