Dutch PM calls van attack on newspaper attack on free press

A man rammed a van into the Amsterdam headquarters of one of the Netherlands' major national newspapers before setting the vehicle alight today, an attack that the Dutch prime minister called "a slap in the face of a free press and Dutch democracy."
Prime Minister Mark Rutte said that a lot remained unclear about those behind the attack, but "we are alert and police are doing everything they can to catch the perpetrator(s)."
The paper is known for its crime reporting, and chief editor Paul Jansen said early today that "it is clear that we don't have friends everywhere."
