France suspects far-left groups were behind rail sabotage, minister says

PARIS: France suspects members of far-left groups were behind the sabotage of the country's high-speed rail network last week, just as the Olympics were about to start, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said on Monday. Saboteurs hit the grid on Friday with pre-dawn attacks on signaling stations and cables at critical points, causing travel chaos hours before the opening ceremony in Paris. “We have identified the profiles of several people,” Darmanin told France 2 TV, adding that the sabotage bore the hallmarks of far-left groups.
