Van Gogh murder: how to kill an unbeliever
RNW reports:Several arrests have been made in the wake of the gruesome murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh, an outspoken critic of Islam. Among them is the prime suspect identified as Mohamed B., who pinned a letter on the body of the slain filmmaker containing direct death threats to several Dutch politicians. Another letter found with him stated that he was prepared to die as a martyr for his faith. Amsterdam police say they're now investigating a possible Islamic fundamentalist cell operating in the Netherlands. RNW also has a report about the Letter the murderer has pinned on the dead body with a knive. So does the BBC and Reuters.
