Why would it be more probable ? How would they be able to organise a coordinated attack spread out so much, and how would they have procured the necessary explosives?

And most of all, why would they attack high speed rail infrastructure which is one of the greenest ways of transportation?

No, it wouldn't make any sense for an "eco-terrorist" group to do it in this way. Same as it doesn't make sense for an Islamic terrorist group.

This has Russia written all over it, from the methods to the Russians already arrested to the fool bragging about it yesterday in Bulgaria.

Not at all what they announced according to the linked article. It's quite literally the opposite really, do you read French or did you Google translate? 'action de masse' roughly mean assembling somewhere to disrupt anything with a mass of people, to many to get arrested. If they wanted to stop a train, they would have invaded a train station (or multiple ones).

The first article is about disturbing the olympic torch relay, and the second one is about various protests, e.g. against a freeway and a logistics center. Nothing about trains.

No the announcements referenced in the article are not about sabotages.
