Polish PM Tusk says rail track explosion was ‘sabotage’ – POLITICO

by · POLITICO

WARSAW — A rail line linking the Polish capital to the eastern city of Lublin and on to Ukraine was blown up Sunday in an “act of sabotage,” Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Monday morning.

Train traffic along the busy route was halted Sunday morning after a high speed Intercity train driver spotted damage to the line, warning nearby trains. “The track might have been destroyed deliberately,” Tusk said Sunday.

Authorities now say they are certain the damage is the result of a planned attack.
