Just hours before the Olympic torch relay concludes and the Opening Ceremony begins, France’s high-speed train lines were targeted by several “malicious” acts, including arson, in what has been described as “coordinated sabotage” to disrupt travel ahead of the Games.
France’s state railways company SNCF said the disruption has affected Atlantic, Northern, and Eastern high-speed lines, with damage caused to several of its facilities. SNCF said one of the acts was “foiled.”
