Given today's events and investigations into causes of the sub-station fire: did we ever hear any-more on who or what group was behind the co-ordinated attacks that knocked-out TGV lines on the day the #Paris2024 #Olympics started last July?

UK shares slump as Heathrow shutdown disrupts airline stocks (Reuters) - UK shares fell on Friday, with travel and leisure stocks sliding as a major power outage at Heathrow Airport caused widespread travel disruptions. The blue-chip FTSE 100 was down 0.46%, but remained on track to clock a slight gain this week after two consecutive weeks of losses. The mid-cap FTSE 250 index declined 0.47%, set to end the week little changed after four straight weekly declines. Britain’s Heathrow Airport was shut after a huge fire at a nearby electrical substation knocked out its power, disrupting flight schedules around the world. British Airways-owner IAG fell 1%. British Airways, the biggest carrier at Heathrow, had 341 flights scheduled to operate at Heathrow on the day. Other carriers including Wizz Air and EasyJet were down between 1.5% and 2%. Holiday Inn-owner IHG was also among the top losers on the blue-chip index, down 2.7%. Overall, the travel and leisure sector slid 1.7%. Among other movers, sportswear retailer JD Sports Fashion (LON:JD) dropped 4.3% following Nike (NYSE:NKE)’s bleak fourth-quarter revenue outlook. J D Wetherspoon (LON:JDW) tumbled 9%, the most on the mid-cap index, after the pub group’s weak interim profit and bleak economic outlook. John Wood Group (LON:WG) fell 3.8% after Jefferies downgraded the stock to "hold" from "buy". On the flip side, fashion retailer ASOS (LON:ASOS) soared nearly 25% after it forecast significant improvement in first-half profitability. On the radar for next week is inflation data and the government’s half-yearly budget update.
