Bioweapons

Full article: Bioweapons

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Ank Bijleveld stated in 2018 that the world could face a large-scale bioweapon attack within “the next 10 to 15 years”, clarifying that “The threat is real, this is not a script for a film.”

2015 Hawija bombing

Speaking about the 2015 Hawija bombing, Ank Bijleveld denied Dutch officers had accepted civilian casualties with the remark "We always calculate them. The Americans do that differently".. She stated to the Dutch House of Commons that they could not "differentiate between IS and civilians in multiple instances that were under investigation by the Public Prosecution Service" in a letter to Dutch Parliament the 4th of November 2019, and blamed "wrong US intelligence and software" telling Dutch officers "no civilians lived in the neighborhood"

Dutch Army

In November 2020 newspaper NRC revealed the Dutch Army is clandestinely spying and gathering data on Dutch protestors supporting the official opposition narrative during the Covid-19 pandemic. Calling these domestic threats the most dangerous at the moment, Bijleveld could not answer why the Dutch Army is trying to replace the tasks of the AIVD and national police.

In December 2020 Bijleveld announced an "internal commission" after halting the operation.
