A series of arson attacks on high-speed rail lines in France has caused major disruptions just hours before the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. SNCF, the national rail company, described the incidents as a "massive attack" intended to paralyze the network, affecting 800,000 customers. One in four Eurostar services will be canceled until Monday. Security measures have intensified across Paris, with heightened police presence near key landmarks. The attack follows a foiled incident in May near Marseille, where incendiary devices were discovered on a railway line.
