In any investigation, it is important to learn exactly what was blown up, how it was blown up, the extent of the damage, who gains, who loses, did the perpetrator leave it in such a way as that it can be repaired easily, or is it damaged beyond repair and a new pipeline would need to be constructed. If you answer those questions, you might be able to prove who damaged it and why.

Good questions. I wonder if they have decided if the blasts came from outside the pipe or internal pipe failure, being iron pipe under salt water.

In any investigation, it is important to learn exactly what was blown up, how it was blown up, the extent of the damage, WHO GAINS, WHO LOSES, did the perpetrator leave it in such a way as that it can be repaired easily, or is it damaged beyond repair and a new pipeline would need to be constructed. If you answer those questions, you might be able to prove who damaged it and why. (Emphasis supplied)

Who gains who loses…

Quite right and equally right to note that motive alone is not and has never been sufficient basis to form a conclusion of guilt.
