A man in his 20s was detained in northern France after he broke into a railway site, French authorities said on Monday, as police continue to search for arsonists who sabotaged train signaling cables last week...The Paris prosecutor's office...said that the man who was taken into custody is not a suspect in those incidents.
Gerald Darmanin, France's interior minister, identified the man as an ultraleft activist, but did not give his name. He was detained on Sunday at a site belonging to France's national railway company, the S.N.C.F., near the city of Rouen...Mr. Darmanin cautioned that it was too early to say what had motivated the attacks but said that the arson last week was the traditional method of action of anarchist or anticapitalist, far-left fringe groups.
