Dutch province of Utrecht to remain at top terrorism threat level

The Dutch government on Monday extended its highest terrorism threat level for the province of Utrecht until at least 10 p.m. (2100 GMT), as a Turkish man suspected of a lethal gun attack was still at large.

The counter-terrorism agency NCTV said it could not rule out terrorism as a motive for the attack in which three people were killed and five wounded on a tram in Utrecht earlier in the day.

Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency reported the man's motive appeared to be family-related, citing relatives. (Reporting by Toby Sterling Editing by Robin Pomeroy)
