JOURNAL: Global Guerrillas in Sudan

Security forces in Sudan thwarted an attack on attack on a crucial oil export pipeline. Six attackers on camelback set the explosives. They escaped detention. Sudan exports 350,000 barrels a day (with expectations of expansion to 500,000 a day next year). This may be part of an effort to "set the conditions" in the oil market for a larger attack against oil facilities in Saudi Arabia this fall (an enhancement of the global window of vulnerability by a "shadow OPEC" -- at this juncture, the pricing power of supply disruption is more powerful than production enhancement). At a minimum, it is another signal of an expansion of global guerrilla system attack to areas outside of Iraq.

Is there any information on who the group behind this is? Trying to stay abreast of who is doing what and what they are ultimately attempting to achieve.
