WEB Notes: Syria is convinced this was an act of terrorism, and rumors are it was… ISIS. A U.S. General recently warned about a resurgent ISIS. It looks like they need the boogieman once again…
This is simply more destabilization, most of Syria was without power due to the attack. We have destabilization everywhere in one form or another. In our country, it’s caused by COVID-19 and riots. In other nations its “terrorism”. Don’t forget what recently happened in Lebanon.

A suspected attack on a pipeline in Syria has caused a nationwide blackout overnight, the state news agency quoted authorities as saying on Monday.
According to SANA, Electricity Minister Zuhair Kharbotli said a pipeline blast in the Damascus area late Sunday “led to an electricity blackout across Syria”.
The oil minister, Ali Ghanem, said the explosion struck the line that feeds three power stations in southern Syria was a “terrorist attack”, but he did not elaborate.
