Acts of violence, for which no-one takes public responsibility, that could escalate war or affect political processes need to be viewed with a very open mind. While it might seem on the surface that one group benefits more from such an act than do other groups, the reality is that there are very evil groups on earth who seek to benefit from ALL such violence. The interests of such groups do not align with those of the people of any particular region or nation - they have their own agendas and goals entirely. It's funny how so many people love James Bond movies and the evil masterminds but completely fail to consider that such plots are based on reality. There are numerous groups and individuals who operate outside of national oversight, who would and could have triggered the events with the pipeline.

Sadly though, we still live in a time where large numbers of people think the World Trade Center complex was brought down by a guy on kidney dialysis in a cave.
