Authorities in the Netherlands have arrested three suspects in connection with devastating explosions that rocked an apartment block in The Hague, killing six people and leaving a community in shock.
...
Police are exploring "all avenues" that could have led to the incident, with the arrests suggesting a potential criminal motive.

The suspects are being held in restrictive custody, only allowed contact with their lawyers, and are expected to appear in court later this week.

"Further arrests cannot be ruled out," officials announced.

"Criminal motive" presumably meaning "not terrorism" (eg gang-related), since it would still be a "crime" whatever the motive.
