An explosive was found on a rail line linking Paris to the Swiss city of Basel on Wednesday. Shortly after bomb disposal experts defused it, the state railway company SNCF announced that police and rail workers would again comb the country's 32,000-km-long railway network. Parts of it speed trains race at more than 200 km an hour. The bomb discovery came on the same day that French President Jacques Chirac was in Madrid to attend a memorial mass for the people killed in train bombings in Madrid on 11 March.
