Gallic authorities have not revealed who is behind the attack but there are two popular theories : militant Gallic collectivist or Russia . The sabotaging of a rail mesh belatedly at night when people in all likelihood wo n’t get hurt gibe the modus operandi of French militant leftists . Unnamed security officialstold Reutersthey were the likely culprits , but would n’t go on record and did not partake in grounds to back the claim .
Russia as a perpetrator is more freaky but not impossible . The Gallic intelligence services have been busy in the past few month in the political campaign - up to the Olympics . On July 19 , theyarrested Kirill Griaznov — a Russian - born chef who has survive in Paris for a decade — and accused him of plotting a magnanimous - scale “ destabilization ” project in Paris .
