'Sabotage': Coordinated attacks on railways in France cause travel chaos ahead of Olympics

France’s high-speed train network was hit Friday with widespread acts of "sabotage" including arson attacks, paralyzing travel to Paris from across the rest of France and Europe only hours before the grand opening ceremony of the Olympics.

French officials condemned the attacks as “criminal actions,” though they said there was no sign of a direct link to the Games, and prosecutors in Paris opened a national investigation.

This was considered an act of terrorism, what changed and why isn’t it being dealt with properly?

Travellers used to dread these kinds of delays, they now pray for them, for it means hours of uninterrupted, guilt-free, quality time with their fondleslabs.

Where is the CCTV recording footages around the sites. There should be publised to the French public. As a modern city with modern transportation system. The perpetrators would be easy arrested by French law enforcement. If they wish.

I love all the comments pointing to different possible perpetrators. This is how much beef France have with different people.
