Dutch police have foiled an Islamist terror plot which involved several men who intended to slaughter people using AK 47 rifles, grenades as well as a car bomb, the Telegraph reports.

Seven men, aged between 21 and 34, were arrested in a police operation on Thursday and prosecutors say they planned a co-ordinated attack on an event and a car bombing. They also had explosive suicide vests.

The operation came after information was provided by an unidentified intelligence service who knew the ringleader of the Muslim terrorists was planning a major atrocity at a popular event in Holland.

The leader of the Jihadist cell, an Iraqi migrant, was arrested in Arnhem by heavily armed police.

In capital of The Netherlands, Amsterdam two American tourists were stabbed in an attack by a Muslim who was living in Germany and was seeking revenge for perceived slights against Islam by a Dutch politician.
