Dutch News in English :)

My favorite headlines from the past few weeks-

Scared prisoner sent home...
A 20-year-old man who was remanded in custody on suspicion of manslaughter has been sent home from jail because he is 'shaking with stress', the Telegraaf reports on Wednesday....more

So, next time you find yourself in jail for murder, just tell them you're scared and you want to go home. hahaha.

Midwives should report circumcision...
Initial research indicates three in 1,000 women giving birth in the Netherlands have had their genitals mutilated...more

This figure seems high...does anyone know how this compares to the US? Apparently (I talked to Ineke about it a while back), male circumcision is very uncommon here. I'm waiting for the US to follow Europe's lead here.

Terrorist attack threat remains 'real'...
The Netherlands' presence in Afghanistan and the perceived attacks on Islam in Holland mean that the country is considered a legitimate target by radical Muslim groups, the ministers said in their assessment of the current terror threat...more

Scary!
