A sniper attack in April that took out transformers at a California power station near San Jose is bringing concerns that this was a “dry run” for terrorists. The video tape from the surveillance cameras at the station showed what looked like an organized attack as an attempt was made to take out certain transformers.
Examiner NPR News reports that the attack on the power station happened last April, but the concerns were raised this week after the Wall Street Journal gave a long account about what happened in the 52 minute attack at PG&E Corp’s Metcalf transmission substation. This event received very little attention until this week.
The Wall Street Journal gives a synopsis of the events before going into detail just what occurred that early morning in April:
“The attack began just before 1 a.m. on April 16 last year, when someone slipped into an underground vault not far from a busy freeway and cut telephone cables.”
“Within half an hour, snipers opened fire on a nearby electrical substation. Shooting for 19 minutes, they surgically knocked out 17 giant transformers that funnel power to Silicon Valley. A minute before a police car arrived, the shooters disappeared into the night.”
“To avoid a blackout, electric-grid officials rerouted power around the site and asked power plants in Silicon Valley to produce more electricity. But it took utility workers 27 days to make repairs and bring the substation back to life.”
At least 100 rounds were fired and there was at least one high powered riffle used. While it is unclear if this was a lone attacker or a group, the reason behind doing this is not known. The person or people who did this sniper attack were never found. This attack seemed too synchronized to be just a spur of the moment idea. The police arrived and the culprit or culprits were gone, but they missed them just by a minute, the surveillance video suggests.
Power Plant Attack sparks terror fears about 3 other related incidents.
NewsMax A recent report about the terrifying attack on a California power plant last April has raised suspicions about other troubling cases throughout the United States within the past year, Newsmax has learned.
Consider:
- On Jan. 9, more than 7,000 gallons of methanol leaked into Elk River in Charleston, W.Va., after a spill at a chemical storage plant operated by Freedom Industries. Nearly 300,000 people were left without drinking or bathing water, some for more than a week. A federal grand jury investigation has begun into the spill, CNN reports.
- The following week, in Manapalan, N.J., a 26-year-old Iranian Muslim man, Asaf Mohammed, was arrested after being found trapped inside a 20-inch pipe outside a storage tank at a water-treatment plant owned by United Water. The plant supplies drinking water to 40,000 customers in the township, New Jersey.com reports.
- Within a month after the Boston Marathon bombings last April, seven Muslims — from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore — were arrested in the middle of the night at the Quabbin Reservoir, which provides drinking water to Boston and several other nearby communities, the Boston Herald reports. Three locks had been cut to gain access to the reservoir.
The incidents, two of which received scant media attention at the time, now have authorities and legislators worried about the possibility of terrorist acts’ being committed against the nation’s power grid and other utility operations.
Those attack reports follow a report by The Wall Street Journal that a sniper assault last April 16, a day after the Boston bombings, knocked out an electrical substation near San Jose, Calif. No arrests have been made in that attack.
What Americans don’t realize is that we now have something called a smart-grid system, where our electric grid is linked to other grids over the Internet and by computers,” he said. “A major attack on one part of the grid could cause a devastating outage that could put tens of millions of Americans in the dark.

why is the concern only coming out now? our power grid has been vulnerable for way too long. we are so stupid it is unbelievable linking it all together is waiting for disaster time to get off the grid
One attack like this is the only excuse ubamba needs to establish Martial Law in the country, get rid of congress and herd ”enemies of state” to the FEMA camps.
This attack in 2013 came too early for that plan.
However, 2014 has been declared ”a year of action”
By the end of 2014, USA won’t be the same anymore.
Watch : obama explains the FEMA camps on youtube.
And don’t forget just this week the Obama regime made it easier for those who supported terrorist to immigrate to this country. Our President is a fuxxing traitor. He single handedly is putting American lives at risk.
We are not factoring in the very likely suppression of the stories by DHS, Holder, DoJ
And to think, instead of the headbanger sniping 100 rounds for all that time they just cut the gate open and fired at it point blank range or something silmisr. it would of saved them time and caused alot more damage and they’re be out of there faster too. luckily they’re too inbred to think of that.
This also goes a long way to explaining cair lawfare. Tie up hundreds of FBI personnel and their administrators with minor, minor, minor graffiti incidents to take them away from serious matters. Even if the brown nosing bosses lick obuMBoys boots, there must be plenty of rank and file workers who smell a rat. One day the evidence will be so overwhelming that NO ONE can keep a lid on it, and heads will roll, the sooner the better.
“What took them so long to investigate whether or not the sniper attack on a California power station was a Muslim terror attack dry run?”
Simple we have a mulim in the White House providing cover to those who would attack America at home.
Southern border wide open. How many threats have slipped across?
7 chemical engeeing students caught doing a walk through at the Boston reservoir last May.
Etc. etc. etc.
You don’t have to strap on a bomb vest or throw a bomb to be a terrorist, providing billions in aid & military hardware to those who are the sworn enemies of America will do.
Thy name is taqiyya & it lives at the White House
i got an easy solution to kill most of them Muslim swine terrorist by using their own tactics, they want to poison our water and kill us, well guess what we can destroy their entire country not one but two most rabid Muslim nations, Now you will ask how?
well guess what, The water to Pakistan and Bangladesh, two rabid muslim nation responsible for genocide of millions of Hindus , Buddhists and now Christians, flows from India a Hindu majority nation, in the form or rivers, just poison them water and them Muslim swines will die out
Carried out by Ovomit’s chosen people, no doubt. But the MSM will ensure we never find out the truth. As usual.
What took them so long to investigate? The Obama regime as usual were covering for their top favorites: Muslims.
Tells you how good police response is. 52 minutes is unbelievable. It seems our power and water supplies are as secure as our borders.
IMMIGRATION HAS TO BE RETHOUGHT ASAP. We cannot continue to bring in DETERMINED SABOTEURS! It is only common sense. We will not have enough police.
Moslems are all sympathizers with jihad. Sabotage is jihad. Moslems differ not in nature, but in degree.
Now why does none of this surprise me, Muslims are out to destroy the Infidels and dominate the world
It was a protest against a youtube video
From now on we should have security guards at reservoirs, water treatment plants, grid towers (they can be blown up), and substations. The only alternative is to deport all Muslims and stop Muslim immigration.
10 miles away. That is close. I remember back in the ’70s self styled communist revolutionaries were trying this at the same sub station.
You forgot one:
