BRUSSELS, Aug. 11 (Xinhuanet) -- The Dutch government has revised the penalties for terrorist activities to conform with European guidelines, Radio Netherlands reported on Wednesday.

    New Dutch legislation has prescribed longer jail sentences for killing, kidnapping and hijacking when these crimes are carried out with terrorist intent.

    However, the radio did not give specific figures to illustrate how further the punishments would be for terrorist crimes.

    It said that conspiracy to commit a serious terrorist crime andrecruiting for the Jihad are now separate crimes with their own penalties in the country.

    The aim is to make it easier to prosecute terrorist networks, according to the radio. Enditem
