RTL Nieuws spoke with Abdelkadir Osman Gabaire, from Denmark, one of the Somalis who were arrested in Rotterdam on Christmas Eve. The interview itself is in English (~0:50), with some Dutch by the announcers in between. In the interview Abdelkadir has an interesting explanation for why he shouldn't be suspected of being a terrorist (though note that he never actually denies being one).
"I was just drinking, having fun."
Q: "Drinking alcohol?"
"Yes, drinking alcohol."
Q: "They think you're a Muslim terrorist."
"They might say so. Whenever I asked them, what you call, excuse me, why are we arrested. They tell me 'because you're a terrorist'. A terrorist? Which kind of terrorist drinks? A terrorist has to be, what you call, in the mosque. Not, what you call.. Do you know a terrorist who drinks? Do you know a terrorist who smokes weed? Do you know a terrorist who chews khat? Hell no."

In other news: police say they couldn't recognize the suspects (NL) they were looking for when they made the arrests in a dark apartment, and therefore hauled everybody to jail. The suspect who's still in jail is suspected of visiting a terror-training camp in Yemen. He claims he was just visiting family. His lawyer expects him to be freed Thursday.
