Sounds like somebody really hates local officials and try to get even.

At first when I read this I thought that the NK government destroyed them because somebody figured out how to use broadband over power lines. It wouldn’t surprise me that they would destroy their own infrastructure to prevent people from talking over their electrical distribution system.

In the early stages of Unconventional Warfare, these are called “Confidence Targets”. They are usually lightly secured or unsecured with a very low probability of getting caught. They test the enemy’s reaction to the event as well as build confidence within the insurgency. There is probably a lot more than this going on but it is hard to get intel/info from a totalitarian regime.

Our transmission towers are just as vulnerable.

Where was Senator Wellstone? Sounds like his bunch.

Few remember that his rise to fame was because of protests over new transmission lines in Minnesota, and many towers were sabotaged in this manner.

Not that I’m saying he did it, but his fellow travelers did.

Wasn’t there a sabotage-by-bolt-removal attempt by some left-wing greenies in the Pacific Northwest a few years ago?
