Rifle Shoots Silicon Valley Substation and Fiber Optic Cable Cut *
Timeline Of Terroristic Incidents | Energy Incidents | Terrorism
April 17, 2013 Rifle Shoots Silicon Valley Substation and Fiber Optic Cable Cut At 1:46 a.m six commandos were involved when more than 100 gunshots were heard for 19 minutes when a sniper used a high powered AK-47 type 7.62mm rifle was used to damage 17 giant transformers and 6 circuit breakers at the Metcalf power substation in South San Jose / Silicon Valley in what was initially very little press coverage until nearly a year later. Just a quarter hour before, phone lines and fiber optic cables belonging to AT and T about a half-mile away were cut as part of the operation as at least two men had to lift a heavy manhole cover. It was nearly a year later before it was widely reported when the Wall Street Journal reported that on analyst called it t "the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the grid that has ever occurred" in the U.S." and that the motivation "appears to be preparation for an act of war." Repairs took 27 days and it cost $15.4 million in damage. The FBI does not "believe it is related to domestic or international terrorists".
The FBI found no evidence linking it to several other attacks on the power grid in Arkansas, where a man undergoing psychiatric evaluation was charged with the crimes last year.
Jon Wellinghoff, former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, said the attack was "very well planned and well executed by very highly trained individuals." The Wall Street Journal publicized it in 2014 and called it "the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the grid that has ever occurred" in the U.S.". The motivation, he said, "appears to be preparation for an act of war." Shell casings found had no fingerprints, and rocks appeared to have been pre-arranged to mark firing positions. The attackers escaped just as police arrived.
"The Federal Bureau of Investigation doesn't think a terrorist organization caused the Metcalf attack, said a spokesman for the FBI in San Francisco. Investigators are "continuing to sift through the evidence," he said."
FBI is on the case but has no evidence that the attack was related to terrorism and seems to believe at this point that it’s an isolated incident, Peter Lee, a spokesman for the FBI field office in San Francisco, which is leading the investigation, told Foreign Policy. The intel official added that there’s also no known motive, and no one has claimed credit; the FBI said there have been no tips from the public.
“These were not amateurs taking potshots,” Mark Johnson, a former vice president for transmission operations at PG&E, said last month at a conference on grid security held in Philadelphia, Foreign Policy noted. “My personal view is that this was a dress rehearsal” for future attacks.
Similar incidents:
There were 274 significant instances of vandalism or deliberate damage in the three years, and more than 700 weather-related problems, according to the Journal's analysis.
Until the Metcalf incident, attacks on U.S. utility equipment were mostly linked to metal thieves, disgruntled employees or bored hunters, who sometimes took potshots at small transformers on utility poles to see what happens. (Answer: a small explosion followed by an outage.)
Last year, an Arkansas man was charged with multiple attacks on the power grid, including setting fire to a switching station. He has pleaded not guilty and is undergoing a psychiatric evaluation, according to federal court records.
Overseas, terrorist organizations were linked to 2,500 attacks on transmission lines or towers and at least 500 on substations from 1996 to 2006, according to a January report from the Electric Power Research Institute, an industry-funded research group, which cited State Department data.Similar incidents:
- July 28, 2013 Rocky Ridge Radio Tower A massive 200 ft Rocky Ridge communications tower south of Moraga in Contra Costa County fell. It appeared least six of the supporting guy wires were severed with a bolt cutter. The loss was estimated at $1 million but had no significant impact on transmissions for emergency services who use the tower for their communications. Police have not established a motive why vandals broke into the remote, gated enclosure and cut the supporting cables

- Mexico Gunmen Attack Power Grid, Gas Stations Sunday October 27, 2013 Just after midnight, attackers armed with gasoline bombs showed Al Qaeda like organization with they simultaneously attacked and disabled substations in at least 9 cities in the Mexican state of Michoacan. The following blackouts affected 1 million people for 15 hours, and were used as cover to burn four gasoline stations in another attack on energy infrastructure. There were no deaths or serious injuries. Michoacan has been controlled by drug cartels which may have seized a city hall, and suspected of a series of attacks on government forces in July in which 20 criminals and two federal police officers were killed.
- Jason Woodring Power Grid Terrorist Arrested in Arkansas October 15, 2013 In Little Rock, Arkansas, 37 year old Jason Woodring was arrested by the FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force for a spree of attacks on the power grid east of the city. He knocked out power to thousands, set fire to an Entergy substation and tried to down two high voltage power lines towers using a moving train.
- September 20, 2013 UC Berkeley Explosion After Power Failure Explosion at University of California Berkeley at 8:30 p.m. after a power outage at 4:30 p.m. It sent flames two stories high two lanes wide, and sent a manhole cover into the air. It was suspected to be related to theft of copper wire thieves off campus. Campus was evacuated, and one person hospitalized for minor burns. It was a sophisticated attack that stole or sabotaged key parts of their system and classes would be cancelled until safety can be established. 20 students were stranded in elevators in dormitories. An engineer stated "Somebody attacked our system. Somebody stole key parts of our system." No one is asking if terrorism could be a motive.
- July 2013-Jan 2014 New Jersey Power Grid Attacks* January 26, 2014: Employees found a hole, approximately three-foot high by two-foot wide, in the perimeter fence of an electric switching and substation in East Rutherford.

identification. The subject claimed he had a gun (none found) and a bomb (package cleared).
* January 19, 2014: Employees found a broken door at a Linden generating station. The steel door was pried open, causing a significant bend in the door, but nothing inside appeared to be disturbed.
* October 30, 2013: Unknown subject(s) breached the main gate of a Burlington switching station and stole approximately 200 feet of commercial grade copper wire, valued at $1,000. (apparent copper theft was probably sabotage)
* October 14, 2013: Unknown subject(s) cut the chain on the front gate of an electric switching and substation in East Rutherford.
* October 4, 2013: An unidentified white male tried to enter a Cherry Hill substation by climbing the fence. When observed, the individual fled in a white Ford pickup truck. The subject has previously been seen taking items from a dumpster on the property.13
* August 7, 2013: A surveillance camera recorded an unidentified African American male (pictured at right), wearing gloves and carrying wire or bolt cutters at a Jersey City switching station.
* July 5, 2013: A surveillance camera recorded two unidentified unauthorized
African American males entering a Jersey City switching station. - April 2009, parties unknown cut ten fiber optic cables in at least three different locations. Six of the cables were cut within three miles of the site of the 2013 incidents In the 2009 incident, cables were also cut 33 miles away, but within easy access by car from the first site via Highway 101. At the time, some suspected members of the Communication Workers of American (CWA) union, who were in a labor dispute with AT&T. Those who cut the cables supposedly knew where to find the cables and how to cause the most damage. http://soquelbythecreek.blogspot.com/2014/02/is-2013-california-attack-on-pg-and-at.html 2009 Incident San Francisco Chronicle: Sabotage attacks knock out phone service http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Sabotage-attacks-knock-out-phone-service-3245380.php San Jose Mercury News: San Jose police: Sabotage caused phone outage in Santa Clara, Santa Cruz counties http://www.mercurynews.com/localnewsheadlines/ci_12106300

e former CIA director laughed heartily as he described the way a terrorist threat to America is identified: ”So many people lecture me … about how this is not an officially sanctioned threat … as if what matters is whether a government bureaucracy has made a finding or not when somebody steps out next to a transformer farm and blasts away with an AK-47.”

—
One week ago, a former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission told the Wall Street Journal that the sabotage of a California transformer substation was “the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the grid that has ever occurred.” The words of warning ignited a flurry of news reports across the nation about the potential terrorism dry run.
The shocking details of the event — in the middle of the night, six men fired hundreds of AK-47 rounds at critical energy grid components after purposely disabling emergency call systems — rightly piqued the collective curiosity.
But the concerned coverage is dangerously delayed. While TheBlaze reported on it last December, only last week did the brazen Silicon Valley attack gain more attention because of the Journal story — nearly 10 months later.
to the initial assessment by the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s department and Pacific Gas & Electric, which owns the station that was attacked near San Jose. According to the sheriff’s press release and a PG&E spokesman, both the local law enforcement agency and the company dubbed the act “vandalism.”
“[Vandalism] is how we typically categorize incidents where other people damage our facilities,”
A suspect broke into an underground vault not far from a busy freeway and cut AT&T telephone cables that enabled security response for the substation. Within half an hour, snipers opened fire on the electric grid components.
Shooting for 19 minutes, they surgically knocked out 10 transformers — the size of double-decker buses — that funnel power to Silicon Valley. Just seconds before a police car arrived, the shooters disappeared into the night, according to the Wall Street Journa

Clearly the exposure of the landline fallability is a push to get the utilities to move their monitoring to satellites, like long-haul truckers.

From the article; "Four minutes later, at 1:41 a.m., the sheriff's department received a 911 call about gunfire, sent by an engineer at a nearby power plant that still had phone service."
Most higher end alarm systems do not rely on solely phone lines for the exact reason stated in the article. Just cutting the phone lines and believing you've disabled all security systems when attacking an installation such as this is seriously short sighted.

Smells like one or more disgruntled workers.... They KNEW where to cut the phone wires outside the perimeter (intimate knowledge of the site), and rather than blowing transformers outright, went for the cooling, so they would have longer (apparently minutes) to work before things got critical. I'd expect a typical nutball to target the transformer itself... Regardless, we ARE vulnerable to attacks of this kind, and should protect/prepare better for them.
What would it cost to build brick walls, equally as tall as the tops of these million dollar massive transformers, at key substations? Minimal cost, I'd say. Wouldn't have to be fancy brick. Mortar and labor would be the brunt of the cost. The projects could be very effective only except where terrain provided favorable and elevated firing positions.
An alternative explanation for this highly planned and coordinated action is good old fashioned theft. It's entirely plausible that simultaneously cutting the communications link and power allowed for another nearby group of confederates to gain access to a home, business or research lab that was temporarily without power and/or a communications link to the police or security service. The list of 'things' that may have been targeted for such a sophisticated theft is huge in Silicon Valley, and it's also possible that the theft was unreported, or at least not reported to the press. This could be related industrial espionage, an attack on a covert government facility, or some rich guy's art collection. We may never know.
The Oceans 11 hypothesis.
Pretty elaborate attack to get into a home or business. They had to know what components to hit, have the AK-47's, and understand what sections of the surrounding area would be affected. I guess the question is...did a major robbery or killing, etc. occur in that area after the event?
A remarkably similar attack was hypothesized back in 1989 by G. Gordon Liddy in an article in Omni Magazine.

I think we can expect that a serious terrorist attack from one of those experienced organizations would have access to and employ more powerful weapons and sophisticated devices, and be coordinated among multiple locations.
The article implies that the forensic ordnance analysis of the impact holes on the property and the spent cartridges and bullets found in the forensic search indicate that the round used was a 7.62x39mm round known as the "AK-47 round". That should not imply that an AK-47 was the only rifle weapon system used, since there are quite a few ordnance rifle systems like the Sig and the Norinco SKS that use this round.
The AK-47 round (7.62x39mm) does not necessarily mean the use of a AK-47 type rifle. I use this round with a Sig Sauer 556R semi-automatic (non-LE version) rifle and I routinely hit targets 330 yards out with a 1" grouping with a limited 4x tactical/combat scope on the first shots out of the box. It can be even more accurate at longer distances with a more powerful scope. There are quite a few very accurate rifle systems that use this particular deadly round, since it is a heavier round with a bigger punch than the 5.56x45mm. The AK-47 is not a particularly accurate rifle, but that was not its design point. Other rifles which use the same round designed to be more accurate can be devastatingly accurate at pretty significant distances beyond 350 yards. The round is a heavier round which is a compromise between the 5.56x45mm (similar to the .223) and the NATO 7.62x51 (aka .308 Winchester), and in the hands of an experienced marksman and a good rifle like the Sig Sauer it can be as accurate as any mid-range (less than 500-750 yds) sniper weapon using NATO ammunition (7.62x51mm) or 5.56x45mm ammunition. The round has some substantial punch (the round is considered by law enforcement as the most dangerous round to encounter because it can go through a car like butter) and that's why it was probably chosen over the 5.56x45mm round for this terrorist attac

The breadth and depth of the attack was unprecedented" in the U.S., said Rich Lordan, senior technical executive for the Electric Power Research Institute. The motivation, he said, "appears to be preparation for an act of war."
Interesting how this act of terrorism was NOT reported until close to a year later. Another example of the Obama administration using any means possible to protect the Messiah from a claim of having a terrorist act happen on his watch? There is NO way this story should not have been all over the news after it happened. It's outrageous.

What do you think this was? A couple o' good ol' boys with guns out for a little fun? The article explains that a lot of planning and preparation went into the operation. It has all the earmarks of a terrorist act. Also, see the quote at the beginning of my prior post from the industry expert. He is also taking the position that it was a terrorist act, but does not use the word "terrorist."

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/02/06/2013-sniper-attack-on-power-grid-still-concern-in-washington-and-for-utilities/ The April 16, 2013, attack had not been widely publicized until The Wall Street Journal reported new details in a story on Wednesday. The attack reportedly started when at least one person entered an underground vault to cut telephone cables, and attackers fired more than 100 shots into Pacific Gas & Electric’s Metcalf transmission substation, knocking out 17 transformers. Electric officials were able to avert a blackout, but it took 27 days to repair the damage. The FBI doesn’t think the incident was a terror attack, an agency spokesman told the Journal. However, Jon Wellinghoff, chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission at the time, disagrees. Wellinghoff, a now-retired George W. Bush appointee, called it “the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the U.S. power grid that has ever occurred.”
Obama's FBI and state department don't consider the arson attack on China's San Francisco embassy (nearly identical to an attack by a Libyan on a Seattle gay bar the same day) or the Uyghur family that crashed and burned their SUV in Tiananmen square to be terrorism either. Or

Although the fact that the still-unsolved attack on a power station near San Jose occurred just a handful of hours after the Boston Marathon bombing — and apparently raised a few eyebrows initially — its ride in the public eye has been decidedly under the radar to date.
But that may be changing.
Now that the ranking member of the House of Representatives’ Energy and Commerce Committee is decrying the incident as possibly indicative of a wider security issue, the brazen attack is getting a bit more attention, noted Foreign Policy.
“It is clear that the electric grid is not adequately protected from physical or cyber attacks,” said Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) at a hearing on regulatory issues earlier this month, Foreign Policy noted.
Image source: Surveillance video of substation attack
Here’s what went down: Around 1 a.m. on April 16, two manholes were entered and fiber cables cut around the PG&E Metcalf substation, which killed some local 911 services, landline service to the substation, and cell phone service in the area, a senior U.S. intelligence official told Foreign Policy.
More from Foreign Policy:
Waxman called the incident “an unprecedented and sophisticated attack on an electric grid substation with military-style weapons” and that “under slightly different conditions, there could have been serious power outages or worse.”
“Initially, the attack was being treated as vandalism and handled by local law enforcement,” the senior intelligence official told Foreign Policy. “However, investigators have been quoted in the press expressing opinions that there are indications that the timing of the attacks and target selection indicate a higher level of planning and sophistication.”
The FBI is on the case but has no evidence that the attack was related to terrorism and seems to believe at this point that it’s an isolated incident, Peter Lee, a spokesman for the FBI field office in San Francisco, which is leading the investigation, told Foreign Policy. The intel official added that there’s also no known motive, and no one has claimed credit; the FBI said there have been no tips from the public.
“These were not amateurs taking potshots,” Mark Johnson, a former vice president for transmission operations at PG&E, said last month at a conference on grid security held in Philadelphia, Foreign Policy noted. “My personal view is that this was a dress rehearsal” for future attacks.
More from Foreign Policy:
“There are ways that a very few number of actors with very rudimentary equipment could take down large portions of our grid,” Wellinghoff told Foreign Policy. “I don’t think we have the level of physical security we need.”

Apr 10, 2009 - The fiber-optic outage---actually sabotage---in the Bay Area on..... (no single point of failure) with dual entries into switch/data/host facilities
AT&T fiber outage shows how easily attackers could wipe out our communications
By Larry Dignan in Tech Sanity Check, April 10, 2009, 8:10 AM PST
The fiber-optic sabotage in the Bay Area on Thursday reveals a dirty little secret: Our infrastructure is ridiculously vulnerable and it only takes a few vandals (or terrorists) to bring communication to its knees.
This is a guest post from Larry Dignan, Editor in Chief of ZDNet, TechRepublic's sister site. You can follow Larry on his ZDNet blog Between the Lines (or subscribe to the RSS feed).
While it's unclear what exactly happened, AT&T is offering a $100,000 now $250,000 reward to find the vandals that cut into fiber optic wires and whacked everything from hosting centers---including a few of our own---911 calls and other communication (Techmeme). Sam said it best: No matter how advanced we get we're still hooked up to a big wire somewhere.
That's not going to change. The big question: How are we going to protect those big wires?
Barrett Lyon asks whether it's possible to destroy the network with a hacksaw. In a word: Yup. It happened yesterday. AT&T used Twitter---home of the Fail Whale---to communicate with customers. Anyone see the irony in that one?
It is pretty obvious that this was an inside job. Whatever the reason for a person or persons to have done this damage, it could have only been done by someone who knew exactly where to go, how to gain access and what cables to cut. Whether the person was recently fired or this was a result of some ongoing negotiations with their unions going in the wrong direction, just about any industry is vulnerable to this kind of attack.
it was someone looking to steal wire. they cut into nice juicy thick cable, found out was not copper and left There's alot more of those type of stupidos, including drug addicts and illegal aliens around than there are ticked off ex-employees who are willing to do this kind of thing.
