He was in contact with a gang of seven believed to be planning a terror attack on a rock festival in his home city.

The terror cell was infiltrated by cops who supplied them with dummy weapons which failed to fire as other police swooped last year.

Riedijk’s family yesterday refused to comment.

He was said to have been wounded in fighting then tortured by IS chiefs who branded him a spy.
