THE HAGUE, National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security Dick Schoof wants the encryption on messaging services like WhatsApp and Telegram is broken. The security service is also involved, says the Santpoortenaar today in an interview with The Telegraph.
“As terrorists using this kind of encrypted networks to communicate we want that break. It is difficult, but we do not say that we can’t,” said the boss of the NCTV in the newspaper. He stressed that the security services are not interested in “your and my messages”.
People who warn that the AIVD to gain too much power, he tries to reassure. “It is necessary for the fight against terrorism and there is good supervision. Every organization in this domain is driven by the values of our democratic rule of law.” Necessary it is. “We should not be using an old module try out the new technique to tackle. The Internet is now a ‘black box’. The services are there to access.”
Danger of attacks
The danger of terror is, according to Schoof not departed. “With the AIVD, we noticed that it IS a planning unit that is still effective and is capable of attacks in Europe to prepare and to perform. And it is a fact that returnees unnoticed, the European Union try to come inside.”
Other former-fighters will in the coming weeks to the Netherlands to be brought back by the police and will be examined thoroughly. “The first wave of returnees were particularly disillusioned types. Who is now returning has done more. We believe no more in his blue eyes as he says that he IS only in the kitchen has stopped.”
