Subjuntivo / Indicativo

¡Hola!

Could you tell me why it is subjuntivo that follows the expression:

"No dudo de que..."?

The full extract is:

"Antes de dormir pásabamos un buen rato por el taller del Belga, un anciano pavoroso que apareció en Aracataca después de la primers guerra mundial, y no dudo de que fuera belga por el recuerdo que tengo de sus acento aturdido y sus nostalgias de navegante" ("VIVIR PARA CONTARLA" by Gabriel García Márquez)

Doesn't "No dudo de que..." imply certainty?

Regards,

Alexander
