sabotage in France 

Authorities claiming that the arson attacks on rail infrastucture were probably carried out by "the ultra-left".

I don't know, but it doesn't seem very credible to me that an actual leftist would do that *and then not claim it*. It doesn't really make sense in the context of leftist politics - you'd want to be making a point, and ensure it is clearly understood.

Unlike right-wing groups, which thrive on fear and blame, I don't see that leftist groups really have much to gain from just causing unspecified chaos... that's not how leftist politics work.

sabotage in France (clarification) 

To be clear, I'm not saying that *the act itself* could not be carried out by a leftist! The rail network would be a strange choice of target, but there could conceivably be circumstances where this would happen. It's the "nobody has claimed responsibility" part that makes this weird.

@joepie91 Also this is happening in the midst of a widespread sabotage campaign across Europe which has been attributed to Russia.
