Spanish tip-off sparks Dutch terror alert: Rotterdam police cancel rock gig and arrest one man as van filled with Gas Canisters is found near concert venue

‘A rock gig in Rotterdam has been canceled after a tip-off from Spanish police about a potential terror attack.
Armed officers swooped on the Maassilo concert venue around 7pm and found a van with Spanish licence plates filled with gas canisters outside.
The driver of the vehicle has been arrested, though Rotterdam mayor Ahmed Aboutalebsaid it isn’t yet clear whether the threat and the van were connected.
It comes just under a week after terrorists in Spain killed 15 in two vehicle attacks after an attempt to create bombs using gas canisters failed.
A judicial source in Spain said the alert given to Dutch authorities is not directly connected to the Spain attacks.
The source said the tip resulted from an investigation that has been under way for some time and had no direct relation to the two vehicle attacks in Catalonia. The venue was cordoned off as a bomb squad was brought in to search the van.’
