AMSTERDAM, December 1

The Dutch police today said there was no evidence that a man arrested on suspicion of stabbing three people in the Hague had a terrorist motive. Three teenagers were hurt in the incident on Friday evening on a busy shopping street.

The police said the suspect, a 35-year old man arrested at a homeless shelter on Saturday, had been interrogated. “Preliminarily there have been no sign found that would point to there having been a terrorist motive,” Hague police said in a statement. “What the motive was, then, is still being investigated.” — Reuters

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
