PARIS, July 29 — France is leaning towards the likelihood that far-left extremists were behind last week’s sabotage of the country’s SNCF rail network - which coincided with the Olympic Games opening ceremony - said Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin.

”We have identified the profiles of several people,” Darmanin told France 2 TV, regarding the hunt for those saboteurs. He added that the saboteurs’ mode of operation bore the hallmarks of far-left extremists. — Reuters
