French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said that attackers who struck early Friday hours before the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics had "a clear objective" to block the country's high-speed train network.

Attal said the vandals strategically targeted the main routes from the north, east and west toward Paris. He said there will be "massive consequences," with "hundreds of thousands" of people stuck while trying to visit Paris for the Games or vacation.

Transport Minister Patrice Vergriete earlier described people fleeing from the scene of fires and the discovery of incendiary devices.

There were no known reports of injuries.

It was "a premeditated, calculated, co-ordinated attack" that indicates "a desire to seriously harm" the French people, French national rail company SNCF CEO Jean-Pierre Farandou said. "The places were especially chosen to have the most serious impact, since each fire cut off two lines," Farandou said.

There will be more attempts to disrupt the Olympics.

France let all these Muslims in. Did the French think these were just poor people looking for a chance?

When the West does nothing serious about barbarism what do you think will happen? Condemning the attacks in grave tones is meaningless.

Every time they have that mess in America there is always an attack, a bomb goes off something wild happens

Four years from now in 2028 summer olympics will be held in America.

Yup. That's the hallmark of the left alright. Whenever something bad happens it's always, "We condemn this in the strongest possible terms" and then do nothing. None of the bad actors take the left seriously.
