Terrorism?

A police investigative team and a fire expert team have been working to determine the cause of the fire, which started from a single location, said Dudi Cohen, Israeli police commissioner.

Update: No terrorism, just some poor schmuck of a kid.

Could be, but I'll stay skeptical for now.  A single-location fire source seems to speak against 'professional' terrorism.  I think pros would have employed small, multiple sources to ensure wise-spread conflagration.  They'd have to be pretty lucky to succeed with a single source, even when taking advantage of fire-friendly conditions.

If this was terrorism, it indicates that we're always going to be hit from an unexpected direction, and that we always seem to be fighting the last t battle instead of the next one.
