Officials in the Dutch port city of Rotterdam canceled a performance by the American rock group Allah-Las following a tip from Spanish police that a terror attack may have been imminent.

Rotterdam Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb said at a hastily arranged news conference that police were questioning the driver of a van loaded with gas tanks that was found near the concert venue. The vehicle was registered in Spain.

Concert organizer Rotown said on Twitter that the concert venue, a former grain silo called Maassilo, was evacuated. The decision to cancel the event was made less than an hour before doors were to open to the public.

Dutch television images from Maassilo showed officers wearing body armor, escorting a group believed to be members of the band, whose name refers to the Islamic deity.

The Allah-Las group is from Los Angeles. The four musicians told the British newspaper The Guardian last year that they chose Allah, the Arabic name for God, for their group's name because they wanted something "holy sounding," and did not realize it might cause offense.

在得到西班牙警方的线报说恐袭可能迫在眉睫之后，荷兰港口城市鹿特丹的官员取消了美国摇滚乐队阿拉拉斯Allah Las的演出。

鹿特丹市长阿布塔利布在一个仓促安排下所举行的资讯发布会上说，警方正在讯问一辆装有汽罐的货车司机。这辆持有西班牙车牌的货车在音乐厅附近被发现。
