Arsonists set fire to Belgium's National Institute of Criminology in Brussels on Monday, causing an explosion but no casualties, a Brussels prosecutor said. "It was arson, deliberate arson at the laboratory of the federal police," she said. Europe has been on high alert after ISIS attacks in Paris and Brussels over the past year. The Brussels prosecutor's office described the attack as arson designed to destroy criminal evidence. The attack was carried out by more than one person, van Wymersch said.
