A teen who stormed the studios of Dutch national TV demanding airtime says he acted alone and had no links to terror networks.

The 19-year-old was armed with a fake gun when he forced his way into the NOS building on Thursday night, local time, before being overpowered by police.

He also claimed in a letter that he had planted explosives and that his group was poised to launch a major cyber attack in the Netherlands.

But police say he's confessed there was no planned cyber attack and no explosives.
