A fire suspected to be criminal disrupted Dutch train services as a NATO summit began in The Hague, affecting routes to Schiphol Airport.
THE HAGUE (Reuters) -Dutch police said on Tuesday they suspected a criminal act was the cause of a fire that disrupted train traffic in the Netherlands, where a NATO summit began in The Hague.
A fire broke out early on Tuesday close to railway tracks in Amsterdam, damaging electricity cables, railway operator Prorail said.
