Arson attacks cause passenger disruption at Paris rail

Arson attacks have caused major disruption to France’s high-speed rail network ahead of opening of Olympics.

The Eurostar rail link between London and Paris has also been affected.

French rail operator SNCF has said disruption could extend beyond the weekend after arson attacks on railway lines.

“Deliberate fires were set to damage our facilities,” it said.
