Death toll in Dutch attack rises to 3

The mayor of the Dutch city of Utrecht says that three people have been killed in an attack on a tram and adds that a "terror motive" is the most plausible option.

Jan van Zanen also said that nine have been wounded, three of them seriously.

Van Zanen said that "we cannot exclude, even stronger, we assume a terror motive. Likely there is one attacker, but there could be more."

Dutch authorities have named a 37-year-old Turkey-born man as linked to the tram shooting.
