Belgium’s nuclear power plants have been in the spotlight for the past week. A security guard at one of the plants was murdered, and earlier this year it was discovered that ISIS was spying on the country’s nuclear program director, gathering information for a possible attack.
But their troubles begin even earlier than that. In 2012, two employees at the Doel nuclear power plant had fled to Syria to join ISIS, the New York Times reports.
A spokesperson for the nuclear agency said that the November 2014 incident was a deliberate act of sabotage.
