On the morning of May 23, 1977, children attending a grade school in the Dutch village of Bovensmilde settle down for their morning lessons. Suddenly, four South Moluccans storm the building, firing bursts from their submachine guns. In their quest for an independent state, the Moluccans have resorted to terror to achieve their goals. A short time later, a commuter train outside of town screeches to a sudden halt—the South Moluccans board the train, taking all 60 passengers hostage. Police, backed by heavily-armed Royal Dutch Marines, surround both sites. The Marines, known in Holland as the “BBE”, are the country’s elite counter-terrorism and commando squad.
