Dutch police arrest politician who quit Geert Wilders party and converted to Islam over suspected plot to murder PM

Dutch police have arrested a politician in the Hague on suspicion of involvement in a plot to assassinate Prime Minister Mark Rutte.

The prime minister’s security service said Arnoud van Doorn, the leader of the Hague Unity Party, was arrested on Sunday.

He “displayed suspicious behaviour” as he walked through the same area of the city as Mr Rutte, the service said.
