Amsterdam airport fire ‘could be sabotage’ ahead of Nato summit

Published



Amsterdam‘s Schiphol Airport rail system caught fire Tuesday, with authorities suggesting sabotage may have been at play ahead of the NATO summit.

Those attending the summit in The Hague were supposed to fly into the airport on Tuesday morning so they could attend later that day. The Hague is about 30 miles from the airport, about 40 minutes by train. However, nearly 30 track cables of the airport’s rail system caught fire and will not be fixed until Tuesday night.
