Researchers from the Israeli/American Security and Intelligence Company (ITRR) intercepted a new threat on an internet forum for Jihadists, directed toward PVV-leader Geert Wilders. The message is a call to murder Wilders in an attack with explosives.The writer of the message calls Wilders a “pig” and a “coward.” The message was posted in a response to Wilders’ recent call to add a text to the flag of Saudi Arabia, that reads: ‘The Islam is a lie, Mohammed is a criminal, the Koran is poison.’
Wilders is a frequent subject of threats on internet forums and through email and social media. Just last Friday he tweeted: ‘after nine years sick souls on the internet still give me the creeps.’
Since the assassination of Theo van Gogh, early November 2004, the PVV-leader has lived under police protection. On the party’s website Wilders “celebrated” that fact: ‘since that ominous day, nine years ago, I’ve been forced to live under police protection. I have lived in barracks, jails, and safe houses. The threats continue and have robbed me of my privacy and freedom.’
