"Somalian Terror Suspect Arrested In Amsterdam!" Is NOT The Headline
09/20/2010
Dutch police arrested a Somalian with, I presume, a British passport, at Schiphol Airport as he was on his way to Entebbe, in Uganda.
He had taken off from Liverpool, originally.
He’s arrested on suspicion of being "involved in a foreign terrorist organization," according to the Dutch Ministry of Justice. The adjective "foreign" here means foreign to Holland. It’s probably foreign to Britain, Somalia, and Uganda too.
How is he described in headlines?
