AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, July 13 (UPI) -- Police seized a homemade bomb from the Amsterdam home of a teen Muslim convert who had threatened a member of the Dutch Parliament, reports said Wednesday.
While police said they did not believe the unidentified 17-year-old was a member of the organization Hofstadgroep, the teen came to authorities' attention during an investigation of the suspected terror group, news service Expatica reported.
Intercepted phone calls showed the teen's target may have been right-wing member of Parliament Geert Wilders, sources told news agency Algemeen Nederlands Persbureau.
Wilders said the teen, an administrator of radical Islamic newsgroups, is suspected of threatening him via the Internet.
The teen faced a Thursday children's court hearing on the bomb found in his parents' home.
