I reported on the Twente University server room fire last week. According to this item in the Debian News mail list it was arson:

"Debian Server burnt down. Wichert Akkerman reported that a fire started in the computing facilities of Twente University. According to the fire department, everything in the building and the entire building was burnt to the ground. The Debian server "satie" that served as security and non-US archive was hosted there. Two days later, the Security Team reported that the security service was successfully reinstalled on another server. The nm and qa hosts had their home on satie as well and were also reinstalled on klecker. It has finally been confirmed that the fire was a result of arson."

One has to wonder about motive. It's just not the done thing to go burning down a university computer centre.
