A far-left group has claimed responsibility for the Paris arson attacks that crippled the country's rail network just hours before the opening ceremony of the Olympics.
Just hours before the grand procession on the River Seine on Friday night, fires were started at key facilities, bringing trains to a halt and affecting around 800,000 passengers - including athletes and spectators heading to the Games.
Preliminary evidence in the investigation showed that strategic points of the network were targeted, indicating that the perpetrators had a detailed knowledge of the network, according to investigators.
France's intelligence services and police have been scrambling to determine the perpetrators of the sabotage - until several French and international media outlets received an email on Saturday by a far-left collective calling itself 'an unknown delegation', which claimed responsibility for the attacks, according to Le Parisien.
The anonymous activists said in the email: 'They call it a party? We see it as a celebration of nationalism, a gigantic staging of the subjugation of populations by states.'
While the email included domain name Rise Up, which is often used by radical environmental or anarchist groups, it is unclear who exactly is behind they email and whether they were actually responsible for the arson attacks.
The methods used to launch the massive 'coordinated arson attack' on rail installations across the country resemble those used by such radical groups in the past, a security source claimed on Friday.
In further disruption to travel as international visitors descend on France, a Franco-Swiss airport was temporarily evacuated for security reasons.
EuroAirport, located on the French side of the border near Basel, said on its website that it had reopened and flight operations were gradually restarting.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
It’s a Terrorist Attack so go get them
Hamas has stated that Paris streets will run with blood. The French voted for this let them reap what they have sown for God is not mocked.
Just another “peaceful protest” by the fascist, far-left commie goons.
Maybe they wouldn’t have done this if they knew about the inclusive drag queen show.
Diversity is our strength.
Imagine how much nicer those European nations would be if not for globalist world leaders. They are now unsafe.
Well, it was #3 on my probabilities list from the other day -
My list in order of likelihood-
- Muslims. Just to be a**h**** as usual.
- Russia, for obvious reasons. Maybe in cahoots with the above.
- Leftists disappointed they didn’t take over the government, yet.
- Le Pens disgruntled people.
#3 is not great, but I’ll take it. At least it wasn’t #4.
And illegal aliens being stashed in hotels and camp sites everywhere.
What could possibly go wrong?
Even the least educated farmer NEVER lets the fox into the hen house.
LOS ANGELES MASS TRANSIT is a very tempting target.

“In France, “Rise Up” (or “Rassemblement pour l’Indépendance et la Souveraineté” in French) is a left-wing political movement. It focuses on social justice, environmental issues, and anti-globalization. The group advocates for radical changes in economic and social policies to address inequality and promote sustainability.”
A couple of days ago, a guy in my local bar said that Israel had claimed responsibility for the attacks. This seemed highly improbable, so I checked the Internet when I got home and found no such claim anywhere. I wonder where he picked up that appalling bit of misinformation.
You see, FOC, you can’t win with these communists.
You can be communist and show all the undermining counter-culture stuff you want to shove in normal peoples faces in these ceremonies, but it will never be satisfactory for your compatriots.
Like Moslems, they are never satisfied.
Perhaps for the LA Games in 2028.
No, Moslems (organized) love to get publicity along with mass murder. Their MO is usually bombings, immediate claims on it, and suicide of perpetrators.
Call all of it antifa.
And deal accordingly.
The response would be the same no matter what.
