THE HAGUE, June 24 (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.

Services between Amsterdam and nearby Schiphol Airport and between the airport and the central city of Utrecht were cancelled until further notice.

“The police are expressly considering a crime may have been committed and are further investigating the incident. We are looking for possible witnesses,” a police spokesperson told Reuters.
