> Still, why not a disgruntled ex-employee or a crafty IT-security student?
“Simultaneous operations by 4 teams in different parts of the country” does not work well with “a disgruntled ex-employee or a crafty IT-security student” as a hypothesis.
You don’t need a “team” to do what was done there by the looks of it. You need like 4 dudes, with pry bars and half a can of fuel. I’m actually surprised this does not happen more often. Not only is this infra not protected, it seems entirely infeasible to protect it, and the result to effort ratio is staggering
A bit late for this thread now, but the deafening silence since the sabotage is interesting in itself. We’d expect militants to make some noise at some point, after all these sort of things are mostly about communication. And yet I don’t really see this being in the interest of any state actor (if disrupting the country is the point, there are easier and more effective ways of doing it).
I look forward to getting more detail a couple of years from now, when information will slowly filter out.
