Monday, a group of power transmission towers in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area were toppled, apparently because a saboteur had removed some structural bolts. See this CNN story: Sabotage blamed for power outage.
Tonight, NPR Radio News has reported that "a group of men of Middle Eastern descent" were seen taking pictures near the towers in the hours before the collapse — albeit with a sound-bite from a local police officer saying that the story had almost zero detail, including direction of travel, number of people, etc — much less the bizarre notion that such a vague story could include the precise ethnicity of this "group of men taking pictures." More as it develops, if at all.
