PARIS — Paris is leaning towards the likelihood that far-left extremists were behind last week’s sabotage of the country’s SNCF rail network that coincided with the Olympic Games opening ceremony, according to French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin.
“We have identified the profiles of several people,” Darmanin tells France 2 TV, regarding the hunt for those saboteurs.
He adds that the saboteurs’ mode of operation bore the hallmarks of far-left extremists.
