Hours before the opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics, coordinated arson attacks on three lines of the high-speed TGV network on Friday caused chaos for travellers.

French rail company SNCF has warned that disruption from Friday's sabotage against the country's train network could last until the end of the weekend.

In a statement issued on Friday evening, SNCF said traffic "would improve" on affected lines on Saturday thanks to the work of thousands of rail workers.

    This is too suspicious. Transport to Paris not being monitored just prior to the Olympics, is insane.

    My travel plans were disrupted but I consider it an act of God that I didn’t endure the awful drag show and blasphemous recreation of the Last Supper. I won’t be watching the games because of it.

  • Those responsible were surely 'doctors and engineers' from a diverse background of course. I hope France people feel enriched with this cultural practice lol.
  • @Uouttooo
    So no arrest even for the older incidents? WoW!
  • So not even 75,000 soldiers and police from 44 different countries could protect public transport, great.
  • "we want to get back to the sport" While the rest of the world is on fire lol
