“Sources said the plot involved a plan to blow up a jet-fuel pipeline at JFK setting off a potential massive explosion.”

“In other news...oil traders, reacting to the JFK plot, bid up oil prices to a new high...”

Would a terrorist attack raise prices? Would the loss of that fuel raise prices? Why?
