CNN —France is still facing travel disruption a day after saboteurs targeted high-speed railway lines in an attack coinciding with the start of the Olympics.
They recovered an “amount of evidence” following the operation, Darmanin told CNN affiliate France 2.
Authorities should not rule out industrial espionage, Persson told CNN on Friday, saying that a railway staffer, or someone who built the tracks including construction workers, could also be to blame.
Railway staff and police work to repair one of several sites where vandals targeted France's high-speed train network, in the northern villege of Croisilles, on Friday.
CNN has previously reported on a host of suspected Russian attacks across Europe.
