(CNN) -- Dutch police say they have raided a suspected paramilitary training ground for Kurdish militants in the southern Netherlands, arresting 29 people.

Police said Friday's operation was unconnected the the November 2 killing of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh by a suspected Islamic radical.

But they said it may have some links to recent arson attacks on churches and mosques.

The raid took place at a campground believed to be used by the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK). The campground's manager was among those arrested.

The Dutch Justice Department's international crime team, which carried out the raid, said it had reason to believe those arrested would be sent to Armenia to fight for the PKK following their training session.

Of those arrested, 23 were taking part in the PKK training session, including five women, according to a statement from the Justice Department.

None of them thought the kurdish young men doing bayonet drills in the sandbox odd?

Too bad I wasn't there myself, would love to say: "I was in a terrorist training camp". They were there to celebrate the 80th birthday of a far uncle.

Guess this is my punishment for not showing up at family parties

My only personal encounter with the PKK is when some of their supporters/members rushed into football stadium waving some sort of kurd flag during a Finland vs. Turkey-match. You should have seen the turkish player's faces.
