Bomb attack in The Hague kills six, injures four. Police suspect terrorism. Rescue teams continue search. Queen Maxima and King Willem-Alexander visit site.
The Netherlands was suddenly startled last Saturday at 06.15 AM by a bomb attack in which six people were killed to this day. The explosion took place in the Dutch residence city of The Hague, the place from which Dutch is governed. Until today, new victims have been pulled out from under the rubble every day. The precision cause is not yet on the table, but it is increasingly certain that a terrorist attack was attacked. The sixth lifeless body was found in the basement of the building hit by the bombing, according to the Haaglanden Safety Region. The three-stored porch flat in the Mariahoeve district of The Hague contained five houses, so the explosion has nothing left standing. Fortunately, the number of wounded four found under the rubble was not too bad. Three of them had to be rushed to the hospital, while one person was slightly injured, this person was housed in a “shelter.”
Who were the fatalities?
The identities of four of the fatalities found so far in the explosion are two men aged 31 and 45, a 41-year-old woman, and a young girl aged 17. The 31-year-old man is from Voorburg, the other man, the woman and the girl of only seventeen years old came from The Hague as far as is known. The police have not yet released anything about the fifth and sixth victims. As I mentioned earlier in this post, the exact cause of the disastrous explosion is not yet known. However, the entire Dutch police force is looking for a car, which would have driven away from the crash site “at high speed” just before the explosion. Queen Maxima and King Willem Alexander visited the crash site today. Earlier this day, the investigation team also announced that, according to some witnesses, first a small and
immediately after a large explosion was observed. There was also later talk about the fact that because of this explosion, a total of nineteen homes have now been declared uninhabitable. A wounded person who was pulled out from under the rubble twelve hours after the explosion turned out to be a very popular volunteer from the neighborhood.
Are there more victims under the rubble?
The search for possible further victims of this “cowardly” attack is still in full swing. This “search” is very dangerous for the many rescue workers because of the high risk of collapse of the affected buildings. The police do not yet want to release anything about the identity of the car that drove away at full speed in the attack. However, the police did announce that, according to earlier research they did in the affected neighborhood, and in the affected building, striking activities had been observed, more later.
