The Paris Olympics opening ceremony has suffered a setback after arsonists attacked France's major train network on Friday morning.
The attacks happened on three high-speed trains, disrupting travel across the main venue of the 2024 Summer Games.
"A massive attack took place last night to paralyze the high-speed rail network. Deliberate fires were set on the Atlantic, Northern and Eastern lines to damage our installation," read part of the statement from the national railway company.This comes only a few hours before the opening ceremony, which is set to be the first one held outside of a stadium.
