Amsterdam - A Dutch court Friday fined a man for sending a death threat to controversial right-wing politician Geert Wilders.

The man, who has not been named, emailed Wilders with a message "We will get you, Kalashnikov AK-47."

Wilders, the leader of the far-right Party for Freedom (PVV), hit headlines worldwide last year for his film Fitna, harshly critical of Islam.
