PARIS, July 26 (Reuters) - Unidentified saboteurs struck France's train network
in a series of pre-dawn attacks across the country on Friday, causing travel
chaos and exposing security gaps just hours before the opening ceremony of the
Paris Olympics.
What do we know about the attacks?


THE ATTACKS

Explosive devices set off fires on signalling infrastructure on three railway
lines going into Paris, rail operator SNCF said. The attacks hit the lines from
cities such as Lille in the north, Bordeaux in the west and Strasbourg in the
east.

Another attack on the Paris-Marseille line was foiled.
One attack happened by lines near Courtalain, southwest of Paris, another in
Pagny-sur-Moselle in northeast France and the other in Croisilles near the
Belgian border.
Pictures released by SNCF showed engineers repairing charred cables in signal
substations.


THE PERPETRATORS

Nobody has claimed responsibility for the attacks and France's Prime Minister
Gabriel Attal said it was too early to speculate about who might be behind them.
Two security sources told Reuters that the mode of attack meant initial
suspicions fell on leftist militants or environmental activists, but cautioned
they did not yet have any evidence.

The Paris prosecutor's office said an investigation would be overseen by its
organised crime office, with the anti-terrorist sub-directorate (SDAT), a branch
of the judicial police that typically monitors far-left, far-right and radical
environmental groups, coordinating investigations.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said in June that the alliance had seen
several examples of "sabotage, of arson attempts" by Russia, but there is no
indication that Moscow might have been behind Friday's attacks in France.



THE IMPACT

The attacks marked an inauspicious start to the Olympic Games as France prepares
to stage one of the most ambitious Opening Ceremonies ever seen.
Some 45,000 police, 10,000 soldiers and 2,000 private security agents have been
deployed to secure the Games' opening ceremony. Snipers will be on rooftops, and
drones in the air. But while the capital is locked down for the opening
ceremony, security elsewhere in the country is lighter.

SNCF chief Jean-Pierre Farandou said some 800,000 customers had been impacted
ahead of a busy weekend for French holidaymakers.
Eurostar's high-speed services linking London and Paris were forced onto slower
lines while Germany's Deutsche Bahn warned of disruption to long-distance
services. The attacks will make it tougher for people heading to Paris from
other areas of France.
