Officials in the Dutch port city of Rotterdam canceled a performance by the American rock group Allah-Las following a tip from Spanish police that a terror attack may have been imminent.

荷蘭得到恐襲警報後取消搖滾樂隊演出

Rotterdam Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb said at a hastily arranged news conference that police were questioning the driver of a van loaded with gas tanks that was found near the concert venue. The vehicle was registered in Spain.

Concert organizer Rotown said on Twitter that the concert venue, a former grain silo called Maassilo, was evacuated. The decision to cancel the event was made less than an hour before doors were to open to the public.

Dutch television images from Maassilo showed officers wearing body armor, escorting a group believed to be members of the band, whose name refers to the Islamic deity.

The Allah-Las group is from Los Angeles. The four musicians told the British newspaper The Guardian last year that they chose Allah, the Arabic name for God, for their group's name because they wanted something "holy sounding," and did not realize it might cause offense.在得到西班牙警方的線報說恐襲可能迫在眉睫之後,荷蘭港口城市鹿特丹的官員取消了美國搖滾樂隊阿拉拉斯Allah Las的演出。

鹿特丹市長阿布塔利布在一個倉促安排下所舉行的新聞發佈會上說,警方正在訊問一輛裝有汽罐的貨車司機。這輛持有西班牙車牌的貨車在音樂廳附近被發現。

音樂會的組織者羅唐在推特上說,音樂廳的人已被疏散,這個被稱爲馬西羅的音樂廳過去是一個穀倉。取消音樂會的決定是在開門迎候公衆前不到一個小時做出的。

來自馬西羅的電視畫面顯示,身穿防護服的官員正在陪同據信是樂隊成員的一羣人。樂隊的名稱是指伊斯蘭教的神明。

阿拉拉斯來自洛杉磯。四名音樂家去年對英國衛報表示,他們選擇阿拉伯語對上帝的稱呼阿拉,作爲他們樂隊的名稱,因爲他們希望起一個“聽上去神聖”的名字,但沒有意識到它有可能冒犯他人。
