People pass the entrance of the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam, Friday, June 6, 2014. Amsterdam's mayor Eberhard van der Laan says he has ordered extra security measures around the city's historical Jewish monuments on advice of the country's anti-terrorism office. Van der Laan said he is not aware of any concrete threat to Jewish places of interest, but an attack is 'conceivable' in the wake of an attack on the Jewish Museum in Brussels, Belgium last month which left three people dead. Spokespeople for the city and the museums declined to comment on what additional measures are being taken, citing security concerns. (AP Photo/Margriet Faber)
