The atmosphere at Paris’ Gare du Nord is tense as crowds grow. Streets in the city center have been blocked off, metro stations closed, and a heavy security presence deployed for the Olympics. However, saboteurs managed to strike at unguarded locations outside the capital, causing significant damage to rail infrastructure. The disruption led to chaos at major transport hubs, with hundreds of stranded passengers awaiting news of delayed trains. The sabotage, described as a “premeditated, calculated, coordinated” attack, resulted in significant repair work and delays on one of the busiest days for France’s rail system. Authorities are investigating the incidents, with speculation about potential motives ranging from extreme left groups to foreign interference. French intelligence services are actively working to identify and punish those responsible for the criminal acts.
Pero prevenir actos de sabotaje en sitios no protegidos en áreas rurales es una perspectiva completamente diferente.
