Still No Clues in South African Nuke Attack

The New York Times weighs in on the South African nuclear double-attacks today -- without offering many new details, alas. The paper notes that "the government is largely mum about who was behind it, how they broke in or why" and that "the four gunmen escaped cleanly, neither caught by guards nor identified on surveillance cameras." Anton
Gerber -- shot in the chest by the assailants -- "is still recovering."

No one has offered a plausible explanation for the assaults. A
Pretoria News report, withdrawn under government pressure, suggested a love triangle involving Mr. Gerber and his fiancée, a plant supervisor.
Others have raised the specter of terrorism, without evidence.
