FRANCE-OLY-2024-CRIME-TRANSPORT

SNCF employees look on as a TGV train moves past them at Vald'yerre on the outskirts of Chartres, northern France on July 26, 2024, after the resumption of high speed train services on the line between Paris and Bordeaux, following suspected acts of sabotage on the country's rail network ahead of the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. France's rail network was paralysed by coordinated acts of sabotage which knocked out most of its high-speed train services hours before the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. French rail operator SNCF said three night-time arson attacks had destroyed cabling boxes at strategic junctions around its network at locations north, south-west and east of Paris.
