THE HAGUE, Sept 1, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Two bystanders who were seriously
injured in a knife attack at Amsterdam’s Central Station are US citizens, the
US ambassador said Saturday.
“We are aware that both victims were US citizens and have been in touch
with them and their families,” Pete Hoekstra said in a statement.
Police shot and wounded a 19-year-old Afghan man, who stabbed the two
people at the Dutch capital’s busy station in the city centre on Friday.
