A Dutch judge on Wednesday extended by two weeks the detention of a suspect arrested last week for alleged involvement in a threat that forced the cancellation of a concert in Rotterdam by an American rock group. Prosecutors said in a statement that the man is suspected of "involvement in terrorist crimes." An investigative judge granted prosecutors' request to continue holding the 22-year-old suspect for a further 14 days, Rotterdam District Court said in a tweet. The cancellation followed a tip about a possible terror threat that was sent to Rotterdam police by authorities in Spain. A Spanish man detained on the night of the concert while driving a van containing gas canisters near the venue was released the following day, after investigations uncovered no link to the threat.
