France Investigates Rail Network Sabotage Amid Olympics

France's Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin suggests that far-left extremists may be responsible for the sabotage of the SNCF rail network during the Olympic Games' opening ceremony. Several suspects have been identified, indicating the involvement of far-left ideological motives.

France is leaning towards the likelihood that far-left extremists were behind last week's sabotage of the country's SNCF rail network - which coincided with the Olympic Games opening ceremony - said Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin.

"We have identified the profiles of several people," Darmanin told France 2 TV, regarding the hunt for those saboteurs. He added that the saboteurs' mode of operation bore the hallmarks of far-left extremists.
