Mobile phone guns seized
FROM DAVID LISTER IN BRUSSELS
HANDGUNS made to look like mobile phones and
activated by tapping a button on the keypad are among
a stockpile of deadly gadgets seized by police after
being smuggled into The Netherlands from Yugoslavia.
The special Arrow unit of the Dutch police disclosed
yesterday that it had seized eight of the "shooting phones"
in raids on five Amsterdam addresses during the past three
weeks. It also found 29 guns disguised as key rings.
Cees Rameau, a spokesman for the Amsterdam police,
said that each of the mobile phones, clearly intended to be
used at close range, contained four .22 calibre bullets.
"For each shot, you have to press one of the numbers on the
keypad. If you didn't know they were guns, you wouldn't
suspect anything," he said.
Although police confirmed that most of the weapons
had come from Yugoslavia, they did not know for whom they
were intended. Mr Rameau said that five men and one woman
had been arrested, including two from Yugoslavia, one from
Croatia and one from Turkey.
At one address in west Amsterdam, police seized 28
key-ring guns, 26lb of explosives, a machinegun, a pistol,
a revolver, 2,000 bullets and 20 hand grenades.
Police also discovered 19lb of heroin, a stash of
fake Dutch banknotes and blank identification papers.

Well that's it then, conclusive proof that mobile
phones can give you brain damage.
