What we know so far about the attack on French train network ahead of Olympics opening

PARIS (AP) — French transport has been thrust into chaos just hours ahead of the Olympics 2024 opening ceremony after a series of coordinated “malicious acts” upended high-speed train lines. Officials said the arson attacks and other vandalism on the rail system Friday are a form of sabotage on a pivotal day of the Games. There’s no sign of a direct connection to the Olympics, but authorities are investigating. Travel for hundreds of thousands of travelers has been disrupted on the rail system linking Paris to the rest of France and to neighboring countries. No injuries have been reported.
