EINDHOVEN, Netherlands, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- Police in the Netherlands arrested 29 people during a raid at an alleged training camp of the Kurdistan Workers Party.
The party, known by the initials PKK, recently announced the end of a five-year ceasefire, threatening to carry out actions in Turkey aimed at winning independence for the Kurdish minority.
Officials told the BBC that the raid at the camp at Liempde, near Eindhoven, was the culmination of a year of investigation and not related to the killing of filmmaker Theo Van Gogh. Van Gogh, a relative of the artist Vincent Van Gogh, was shot dead in Amsterdam, allegedly in retaliation for a television movie on domestic abuse in the Muslim world.
A court in The Hague recently blocked the extradition of a Kurdish leader, ruling that she would not receive a fair trial in Turkey.
