Blast wounds Dutch police in raid

Three Dutch police officers have been wounded in an explosion during an anti-terror raid on a house in The Hague. Police said two of them were seriously injured by the grenade blast. Shots were also fired during the raid.

The area - near the Holland Spoor train station - was sealed off and airspace immediately over it was closed.

Meanwhile a Muslim school in Uden has been burned down - part of a spate of attacks following the murder of film-maker Theo van Gogh, a critic of Islam. Attacks have targeted Christian and Muslim buildings across the Netherlands.

Police said there were still suspects in the building raided in The Hague on Wednesday.

Van Gogh, murdered in Amsterdam a week ago, had received death threats after the release of his latest film controversially portraying domestic violence in Muslim societies. It showed images of a semi-naked woman with Koranic script daubed on her body.
