The coordinated rail attacks in France occurred despite intensive security measures ahead of the Olympics, such as police sweeps, house arrests, and background checks on one million people.
Despite efforts, individuals with criminal records, links to foreign espionage, and terrorist sympathies still managed to slip through security screenings.
Several individuals, including a Chechen man planning an attack and a Russian man working to destabilize the Olympics, were apprehended due to the security measures.
Around 5,000 individuals were rejected from participating due to criminal records or radicalization suspicions, with an additional 1,000 suspected of foreign espionage.
