Sniper Attack On Power Station ""the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the grid that has ever occurred"
Was an attack last April on an electric power station near San Jose, Calif., the work of vandals or something far more dangerous — domestic terrorism or a trial run by an individual or organization bent on damaging the nation's electric grid?
