BRUSSELS, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- The Institute of Forensic and Criminology (NICC) of Belgium, based in Brussels, was hit by an arson early Monday morning,
with no casualties reported.
The fire severely damaged the laboratories in the NICC, where important information concerning several ongoing investigations and legal cases were
stored and analyzed.
"We are clearly talking about a criminal act," said Brussels prosecutor's office spokeswoman Ine van wymersch. "This location was not chosen randomly."
Van wymersch said it is without doubt that several people would benefit if elements from their legal cases were destroyed.
Several perpetrators forced their way into the NICC premises at around 2:00 a.m. local time with a car to reach the building wing where the laboratories
were situated.
Five people were arrested for questioning, but were all released later on.
As for the explosion heard by several people nearby, Van wymersch said its cause remain unknown.

CAIRO, March 2 (Xinhua) -- Egypt's recently-appointed first female governor vowed on Thursday to meet the aspirations and expectations of her people in an
exclusive interview with Xinhua, and expressed mixed feeling of responsibility
and joy to have the honor of being the first female governor in Egypt and the
Arab world.
Nadia Abdou, or the "Iron Woman," has been appointed earlier in February as the new governor of Beheira province, about 130 km north of the capital Cairo,
after serving as deputy governor over the past three years. She sees the move as
a step forward for greater women's participation in the country's political
leadership.
"Women's participation in Egypt has become fairly acceptable, as an Egyptian woman has become a minister, an ambassador, a judge, a mayoress and finally a
governor. Egyptian women are also highly represented in the parliament," said
the governor.
"Women constitute half the society and affect the other half, and they have greater awareness of the size of the problems facing the society," Abdou told
Xinhua, hoping for further female political and social participation in the near
future.
She continued that her major challenge after taking office is to provide all necessary care and attention to women and children in order to prepare a
generation that is able to endure the burdens and responsibilities of the
future.
Her first decision as a governor was to assign some of her tasks to mayors, district chiefs and heads of service institutions "to ensure the principle of
decentralization and to carry out the citizens' relevant interests faster and
more efficiently."
Beheira's new governor was born in the 1940s and she was graduated in Alexandria University, department of chemical engineering, in 1968.
She was referred to as the "Iron Woman" due to her diligence and persistence facing work challenges in a male-dominant society and her strict leadership with
abidance to the law to fulfill work duties based on her belief that "there is no
time to waste in bureaucracy."
Abdou served as chairwoman of a state-run water supply company in Alexandria for a decade and she is a member of the France-based General Assembly of the
World Water Council (WWC) and the Jordan-based Arab Countries Water Utilities
Association (ACWUA). Hence, the lady governor has ambitious plans to carry out a
national project to solve Beheira's water problems as one of her priorities.
"There is a lot of hard work to do to finish ongoing service projects, particularly those in the fields of drinking water and sanita.
