Netherlands police arrested six men yesterday in connection with a threat against the life of Queen Juliana over the arrest of a 15-year-old Arab boy who tried to bomb the Israeli Embassy here Sept. 8.
The youngster, identified as Taysir Ali Al-Attar, was jailed after he threw a grenade at the Embassy. It exploded outside an adjacent residence. A second Arab youth, said to be only 13, escaped. Police said a man with a foreign accent telephoned several newspapers Monday night to warn that “your queen will die” unless the Arab suspect is released. The arrests were made after a smoke bomb exploded amidst police escorting Queen Juliana to the opening of Parliament.
