AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — A U.S. citizen has confessed to axing a 22-year-old Dutch student to death, his lawyer said has said, adding that the American had expressed a desire to punish the Netherlands for its government's support of the war in Iraq.
...
The suspect, Carlos Hartmann, 41, of Tecumseh, Michigan, confessed to the Sept. 8 killing on a train platform in the southern city of Roosendaal, lawyer Peter Gremmen said.
Hartmann appeared before a judge Tuesday and was ordered held for another two weeks for investigation.
"He hates soldiers, and says that the army kills people, so it would be legitimate if he were also to kill someone ... from the American military — or from its NATO allies," Gremmen said in a telephone interview.
...
"He was against the war, and he thought the U.S. was aggressive, going into other countries and making war," his mother, Delores, told the program. "You can be anti-war, you can be leftist, but not this — I never imagined something like this," she said, weeping.
...
Gremmen said Hartmann has lived in the Netherlands since 2002, supporting himself with English editing work for a Japanese company, which he could do by computer, and that he had no fixed address.
