Rotterdam synagogue blast had terrorist intent, prosecutors say
AMSTERDAM, March 16 (Reuters) - Dutch prosecutors on Monday said the four men suspected of causing an explosion at a synagogue in Rotterdam on Friday had acted with terrorist intent.
"The acts were meant to instill fear in the Jewish community," the prosecutors said.
The four, aged 17 to 19, were apprehended shortly after an arson attack caused a fire at the synagogue early on Friday.
