UPDATED 5:00 PM EDT (SEE BOTTOM) -- "These incidents were no accident; explosive charges were attached to oil tanker hulls." - Foreign Gov't Intel Agency . . .

As most of you are aware, for 15 years, I worked with the FBI; my final 5 years (2003-2008) with the Joint Terrorism Task Force where I was a "fully operational" national security Intelligence asset granted "Extra-Territorial" operating authority by the FBI Office of Intelligence at FBI HQ in Washington.  In that role, I worked with Intel operatives from governments worldwide on National Security, Terrorism and Foreign Counter-Intelligence.  Some of those relationships allow me to still receive information.  Today, some severe Intel about the "damage" to oil tankers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) over this past weekend.
