Today’s massive combined arson and hacker attack against the French high-speed railway network was worse than most people think

There was a foiled arson attack on the Lyon line as well

Had it succeeded, all 4 lines leading to Paris would have been taken out.

Wall Street Journal:

France’s rail network was the target of a major act of sabotage Friday, the day of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, officials said, bringing service on several high-speed rail lines to a halt in disruptions that are expected to last for days.

Officials said fires were set at around 4 a.m. local time at three sites around the country’s rail network in a coordinated and precisely targeted attack. The damage is disrupting service on the lines that bring traffic to Paris from the north, the southwest and east. The saboteurs cut and then burned signaling cables, requiring laborious repairs that will last for days, officials said.

One team of saboteurs targeted a line that serves southeast France but was foiled by rail authorities, officials said.

“The places were chosen specifically to have the heaviest impact,” said Jean-Pierre Farandou, president of the SNCF, France’s state rail company. “This is a sad day.”

PARIS (AP) — France’s high-speed rail network was hit Friday with widespread and “criminal” acts of vandalism including arson attacks, paralyzing travel to Paris from across the rest of France and Europe only hours before the grand opening ceremony of the Olympics.

French officials condemned the attacks as “criminal actions,” though they said there was no sign of a direct link to the Games, and prosecutors in Paris opened a national investigation saying the crimes could carry sentences of 15 to 20 years.

As Paris authorities geared up for a spectacular parade on and along the Seine River, three fires were reported near the tracks on the high-speed lines of Atlantique, Nord and Est, causing disruptions that affected hundreds of thousands of travelers.

Among them were two German athletes in showjumping who were on a train to Paris to take part in the opening ceremony but had to turn back in Belgium because of the closures, and will now miss the ceremony, German news agency dpa reported.

“There was no longer a chance of making it on time,” rider Philipp Weishaupt, who was traveling with teammate Christian Kukuk, told dpa.
