I was surfing around Mideast sites and came across this report
that Al Quada claimed responsibility for the blackout, spending
$7000 to cause $10b in economic damage:

> Al-Qa'ida's Abu Hafs Brigades has claimed responsibility for
> "Operation Quick Lightning in the Land of the Tyrant of this Generation,"
> referring to the blackout last week in the Northeast and Midwest United States.
> A communiqué by the Abu Hafs Brigades was published at
> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/abubanan2/message/330.
> This is the third communiqué by the "Brigades" that is being
> published by the same web-group; in the first, they accepted
> responsibility for the downing of an airplane in Kenya. The second
> accepted responsibility for the Jakarta bombing of the Marriott
> hotel on August 5, 2003.
