(ANSA) - Turin, July 21 - Turin prosecutors said Tuesday they were investigating the possibility of sabotage in the stoppage of a French TGV high-speed train from Paris to Milan that came to a halt in the Val di Susa valley north of Turin Monday.
    The area has long seen protests against a new French-Italian high-speed rail (TAV) line.
    Police said some 300 passengers sat without water, electricity, or air conditioning in hot rail cars for about four hours Monday.
    Railway officials said a damaged electrical line was to blame.
    Buses finally took the passengers to their destination.
