France’s high-speed train lines were targeted by several “malicious” acts, including arson, on Friday, in what has been described as “coordinated sabotage” to disrupt travel ahead of the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympic 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.”
