  Speaker 3: Okay, let's get into today's story.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: On September twenty seven, eighteen, in a little city in
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the Netherlands, a security camera captured six men walking calmly
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: toward this brick bungalow inside one of the country's holiday parks.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: A holiday park is a place that offers cheap accommodations
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to tourists. They typically have things like campsites, RV parking,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: cheap bungalows for rent, and they also often offer things
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: like swimming and golfing and bowling, so it's kind of
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: like an all in one for families on vacation. But
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: on this September day, these six men caught on camera
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: were neither family nor on vacation. Instead, as they walked,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: it was very clear from their body language that the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: only thing they were interested in was getting inside of
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: their holiday bungalow. Once they did reach the front door
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: of this bungalow, the apparent leader of the group, who
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: had dark brown hair and a full beard, he pulled
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: out a key, unlocked the door, He opened it up,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and then he made sure the rest of the men
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: took off their shoes before walking inside. And then once
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: all the men were inside the door, the leader shut
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the door and locked behind them. And then barefoot, they
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: walked through the hallway into this corner living room in
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the back of the bungalow. And in this room there
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: was this L shaped couch that was centered on a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: coffee table and a couple of chairs scattered throughout the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: rest of the room, and so the six men kind
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of took up seats in these different places. And then
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: after they were all sitting down, two of the men
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: who had been seen walking into the bungalow carrying backpacks
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and Duffel bags, they pulled those bags out and set
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: them on the coffee table.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: And as soon as these two men.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Did that, the other four men who had been chatting
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: amongst themselves, went completely silent and turned and just faced
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the bags on the table. It was very clear that
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: whatever was in the bags was very significant, so significant
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in fact, that the group had pulled most of the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: curtains across all of the windows inside of this bungalow
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to make sure no one outside could look in and
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: potentially see the contents of these bags. And once the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: two men unzipped the Duffel bags and backpack and began
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: putting the contents of the bags onto the table, it
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: became incredibly clear why the men were so on edge.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Inside of these bags were guns, and in the Netherlands
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: no private citizen is allowed to possess them. Over the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: next hour, the two men who had actually carried the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: guns into the bungalow, they began going over some instruction
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: with the other four men of how to use these
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: slick black pistols and AK forty seven rifles.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: They taught them how.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: To load the guns and reload, and how to aim,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and they did a number of dry firing exercises, which
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: is basically pulling the trigger on any real gun when
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the gun is not loaded.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: And so these four students paid careful attention.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: To their two instructors, and at some point they became
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: more confident, and you could just see the excitement was
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: building in the room. At one point, one of the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: students grabbed two of the AK forty seven rifles and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: held one in each arm and pretended to fire them simultaneously,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: like you would see in the Rambo movies. But when
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: one of the two instructors reached back into one of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: these bags and pulled out a new item, a vest,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and laid it on the coffee table, immediately the mood in.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: The room shifted again.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Now the students seemed more nervous than excited. One of
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the four students eventually walked forward and somewhat reluctantly extended
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: his arm to allow the instructor to slip the vest
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: onto him, and then once the vest was put on
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: this student, you can see in the camera footage there
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: are pockets all over this vest with little wires poking
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: out of them. This vest was a suicide vest and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the pockets contained explosives. As one of the instructors showed
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the student in the vest which cord to pull in
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: order to detonate himself, you can hear in the background
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: someone saying, when the police come, you can take them
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: with you. A little over two hours later, these six
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: men were done and they began packing up their arsenal
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of new weapons back into the bags, and then they
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: stood up to leave, But when they left, it was
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the students who had the bags of weapons, not the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: two instructors. Once the six men had left the bungalow
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and were back outside again, they put their shoes back on,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: they locked the bungalow behind them, and then the two
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: instructors were seen on camera walking away from the bungalow
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to a separate car. They drove off, and then the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: four men that now had the weapons, they walked to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a nearby white cargo van which contained one other man
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: who had not been inside of the bungalow with them,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: but he was very much a part of this group.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: He was their driver. And so as the four men
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: with guns approached the white van, the driver saw them,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: he climbed out. He ran around to the back and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: opened up the back doors that led into the windowless
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: back cargo area of the van, and the four men
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: with guns they climbed inside. The driver shut the van,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: climbed back into the driver's seat, and then before long
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the driver was leaving the parking lot and heading north
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: towards the city of Amsterdam, which is the capital of
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the Netherlands. Every year, Amsterdam plays host to one of
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the largest gay pride parades and events in the world.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: The location is significant to the LGBTQ community because it
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: was here, in two thousand and one that the first
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: gay marriage bill was signed into law, making the Netherlands
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the first country in the world to legalize gay marriage.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: So for one week a year, hundreds of thousands of
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: people pour out onto the streets and line the canals
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: of Amsterdam, all drawn together to affirm gay rights and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to celebrate their sexual expression, preference, and identity.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: And the men in the white windowless van intended to
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: use their.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: New weapons and training to kill or maim as many
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: parade goers as possible. They were hopeful that their terrorist
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: attack would rival or even eclipse the attack from twenty
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to fifteen in Paris in a nightclub that killed or
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: injured more than five hundred people and sent shockwaves through Europe.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Thirty minutes later, the four men in the back of
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: this windowless van felt the van slow down and pull
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: off the main road and not come to a complete stop,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: but just kind of begin to slow roll, which was
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: odd because they had no reason to slow down, and
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: they were at least thirty minutes away from their destination.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: And so instinctively the men reach down and make sure
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: or their guns are safely stowed inside of their bags
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and out of sight in case somebody opens.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: The back door. They don't want people to know they
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: have guns. They are illegal.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: And so as the van continued to go painfully slowly
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: for really no reason that was clear, the men in
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the back of the van were really starting to worry
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that something was wrong.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Now, remember, they have no windows, they can't look outside.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: They don't know what's going on.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: However, there was a small crack in the partition that
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: separated the back of the van from the front of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the van where the driver was, and so the men
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: in the back of the van began craning their necks
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and looking through this little crack to try to see
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: if they could understand what was in front of the van,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and you know, why the driver had stopped. And when
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: these men looked through that little crack and they saw
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: what was out there, they immediately began to panic.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: They began reaching.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Down and fumbling for their bags, trying to open them
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: up to get their guns. And then by the time
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: they're kind of getting the guns into their hands, all
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the doors on the van fly open, and the men
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: in the back just began firing their guns blindly at
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the open doors. But when they pull their tricks, nothing
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: happens because their guns were fake.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: They had been.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Sold to them by the people who were flinging open
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: their doors. The police in tactical gear with their dogs,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and they knew these guys had fake guns. They knew
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: their suicide vests were fake, they were full of fake explosives.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: They have nothing lethal inside of this van, and so
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the police they just fling the doors open and.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Send in the dogs.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: And so the dogs they jump into this van and
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: these wannabe terrorists are screaming and they're firing they're fake
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: guns at the dogs as the dogs are shredding these
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: terrorists to bits. And then whenever they tried to jump out,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the police would just pistol whip the terrorists until finally
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: all of these wannab terrorists were in the fetal position crying,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: or they were crouched down with their hands over their head.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: It would turn out the two instructors who had brought
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the Duffel bags of guns into the bungalow with the
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: other men.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: They were not other fellow terrorists.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: They were undercover police officers who were a part of
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the Special National An Terrorism Team who were able to
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: infiltrate this terrorist cell. These undercover cops were the ones
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: who sold the fake guns and fake explosives to the terrorists,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and they were the ones who set up this meeting
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: at the bungalow, which allowed them to place cameras and listening.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Devices all over the place.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Plus they were also able to bug the white fan
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: because they knew they would be departing the.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Bungalow inside of it.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: So all the wannabe terrorists that you saw on camera,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: plus two others that were not seen on camera but
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: were totally involved.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Were all sentenced on.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: October eighth, twenty twenty to anywhere from ten to seventeen
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: years in prison. Meanwhile, the Amsterdam Pride Parade went off
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: without a hitch, So.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: That's going to do it.
