I don't think terrorist would target oil depots yet... they still want to be able to kill a large amount of people to scare people into submission like what happened in spain. If they were to hit an oil depot it would have to be pretty darn close, or right next to a city with a large population center. This to me seems like an accident.
You are going to have a instant fuel shortage in the UK....planes are going to have to fill up in other countries, etc.
If you set off a set of attacks this week there would be pandemonium
Economic warfare, gas just dropped in price here, now watch it skyrocket back up. They fight on many levels.
That's true but it may be getting mighty difficult for terrorists to operate inside London, and they may have lost a lot of operatives to MI5 investigations. Infrastructure in small cities is much easier to strike without getting caught on surveillance cameras and without getting shot by transit police. It does seem much too early to say with any certainty that this is an accident.

,,, at the onset of winter? No more an accident than that subway deal in London was. Fuel is needed particularly at this time of year and this is a significant hit to take. What's the bet another facility will go up the same way?
