#1 Must have been due to those robot squirrels or maybe the muslim UFOs?

#2 My thoughts exactly, 3dc.
But seriously, I wonder if it actually would be possible to develop a device that would interfere with a truck engine; some kind of directed EM beam that would cause mis-fires or something. Pick an appropriately bad section of Iranian road, wait for a likely target, and distract the driver with a balky engine - and thus balky air brakes. Bingo, crash and fireball. Or maybe even some airborne high-beams (night) or shiney mirrors (day) in his eyes as he approaches that mountain curve with no guard rail? Blame it on UFOs.

#3 Previous Rantburg story stated these gasoline smugglers drive by night with no headlights on. The crash was probably due to a lack of directed EM beams, which works as well. Plausible deniability, you know.

#4 last week there was a story about several fuel trucks being hijacked in Iraq; wonder if any of these explosions this past couple of days are those (or similiar) stolen trucks?
