Hours before the opening ceremony of Summer Olympic Games, there was a bomb shock in France.
As Idman.biz reports, the host of the most prestigious competition of the quadrennial was informed that an explosive substance was found at the Basel-Mulhouse Airport on the border with Switzerland.
Jean-Pierre Farandou, CEO of rail company SNCF, said railway maintenance workers managed to thwart a suspected sabotage attempt along tracks heading southeast of Paris.
“These people left, of course, very quickly when they realized they were spotted. So, thank you to the railway workers. Unfortunately, we couldn’t do it everywhere.”
After that, law enforcement agencies completely evacuated the airport. After the inspections, the airport was returned to passengers at noon.
The opening ceremony of Paris 2024 will start today at 22:00.
