The shocking revelations comes after the police claimed that the death of a security guard at a nuclear facility is being treated as a criminal act rather than a terror act.
Didier Prospero was shot several times in the bathroom of his home in the Charleroi region of Belgium.

It had been feared the murder may be part of an ISIS plot to attack the facility and release radioactive waste into the atmosphere.
