WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Two days following the March 22 Brussels terrorist attacks, a guard at the Tihange nuclear power plant was shot dead and his access badge was stolen in the town Charleroi. The local prosecutor’s office stated that the case was unrelated to terrorism.
"What we have seen is the Belgians have [said] that they do not consider that particular issue to be a nuclear terrorism issue, they consider it a criminal matter. We have no information to the contrary," Holgate stated.
This week, the United States is hosting the fourth Nuclear Security Summit focusing on the prevention of nuclear terrorism. A high-level delegation from Belgium is scheduled to attend the summit.
