Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
The attack happened in April, 2013. Until the Wall Street Journal broke details of the event this week, hardly anyone knew of a sniper attack on a power substation in California.
Now, former federal officials are saying the attack looks like a test run for terrorists.
The attack on a Pacific Gas and Electric substation involved someone breaking into an underground vault and cutting all phone lines while snipers fired over 100 shots into the station destroying 17 transformers. While PG&E was able to avoid a major blackout as a result of the attack, it took the company 27 days to repair all the damage.
Jon Wellinghoff, former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission when the attack happened, believes the incident was a terror attack despite FBI claims otherwise.
Wellinghoff called the attack “the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the U.S. power grid that has ever occurred.”
Wellinghoff says he bases his view on the evidence the scene. Shell casings from the sniper’s rifles had no fingerprints. The shooting positions had obviously been pre-arranged.
Wellinghoff said that most electrical grid sites don’t have nearly adequate protection to stop a terrorist team.
