French train sabotage disrupts transportation just hours before the Olympics, raising serious security and logistical concerns in...
France's rail network was paralysed Friday by coordinated acts of sabotage which knocked out most of its high-speed train services hours before the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
The Paris Olympics are set to open in a spectacular and unprecedented ceremony on the river Seine on Friday evening, with many ticket holders set to travel to the City of Light by train. "We'll see tonight... but the closer it gets the more the models suggest we're likely to get rain," chief Games organiser Tony Estanguet told France Inter radio, while adding that there would be some modifications if it was wet.French security forces are on their highest alert to prevent terror attacks spoiling the start of the first Olympics in Paris in 100 years, while acts of sabotage from hostile foreign powers were also a known risk.
It will be the first time a Summer Olympics has opened outside the main athletics stadium, a decision fraught with danger at a time when France is on its highest alert for terrorism.
