The state-run rail line said it doesn&#8217;t know who&#8217;s behind the attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trains to and from Paris will ultimately be affected, and SNCF said approximately 800,000 travelers could feel the effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Affected travelers will be contacted by email or SMS. We ask all travelers who can to postpone their trip and not to go to the station,&#8221; the rail line continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SNCF called the attacks on the three railway lines \u2014 the Atlantic, North and East \u2014 &#8220;an attack on France.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Farandou said rail cables, which are there for safety, became damaged and will need repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Therefore we have to pull them back together one by one, reconnect all these cables and test them. It\u2019s a question of security. We have to make sure we test them so when trains are back up and running, they are safe,&#8221; Farandou said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Farandou said that for one of the fires, two destinations were hit, adding that it was &#8220;a premeditated, calculated, coordinated attack&#8221; that indicates &#8220;a desire to seriously harm&#8221; the French people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the French population, this will be a busier-than-normal weekend and two weeks with spectators from around the world flocking to France for the Games, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/travel\/traveling-paris-3-things-do-aside-olympics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">first in Paris<\/a>&nbsp;in 100 years since the city hosted the 1924 Games. Paris also hosted the 1900 Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">French sports minister Am\u00e9lie Oud\u00e9a-Castera said Olympic organizers would &#8220;ensure the proper transport of all delegations to the competition sites.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Opening Ceremony will be on the Seine River beginning at 1:30 p.m. ET, the first kickoff to a Summer Olympics that won&#8217;t be held in a stadium setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have been no reports of injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2024 Summer Olympics officially kick off with Opening Ceremony tonight, just a few hours away in Paris and an attack on the major rail system is causing delays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[296,297],"class_list":["post-794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-news","tag-2024-paris-olympics","tag-olympics-opening"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
