Day After "Massive Attack", A Big Update From French Railways

Rail workers thwarted an attempt to destroy safety equipment on a fourth line in what the SNCF rail company called a "massive attack".

Seven out of 10 French high-speed trains will run Saturday on three key routes, a day after saboteurs paralysed much of the train network as the Olympic Games started in Paris.

No immediate claim of responsibility was made for the coordinated overnight arson attacks on cabling boxes at junctions strategically picked out north, southwest and east of the French capital where the Olympics opening ceremony was staged on Friday night.
