The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition
sabotage [Fr., sabot =wooden shoe; hence, to work
clumsily], form of direct action by workers against employers through
obstruction of work and/or lowering of plant efficiency. Methods range from
peaceful slowing of production to destruction of property. In 1897, French
workers adopted sabotage as a general strategy. It was also used by the
syndicalists (see syndicalism ) and by the Industrial Workers of the World in
the United States. It has been condemned by Communists and Socialists as
counterrevolutionary because it often results in a wave of repressive measures.
The term has also been used, notably by Thorstein Veblen , to refer to
limitation of output by businessmen to enhance profits by maintaining scarcity
of goods. In wartime it connotes nonmilitary enemy activity, by either foreign
agents or native sympathizers, especially the physical damage of vital
industries.

How Terrorists Plan An Attack! Due to the magnitude of a terrorist
act, terrorist planning is often overshadowed or ignored by investigations.
The terrorist planning phase should be examined in order to understand
terrorist actions. Without understanding, any effort to thwart terrorist
missions will reap random success...

Sabotage and the saboteur A saboteur may be anyone in an organization of the
target industry, from a janitor in the machine shop to an administrative
assistant in the executive suite, or even a top executive himself. He may work
alone or be part of a well-organized group. Money may be his motive — money from
a foreign power, from unscrupulous business competitors, even money from a rival
union trying to break into the plant or industry, or to incite a strike.
KGB Directorate S - Illegal
The sabotage and intelligence groups were trained for operations in a
specific area of a country. The Department monitored practically all the
most important enterprises, hydro-electric stations, nuclear stations,
tunnels, depots, bridges, oil pipelines and cables. It studied suitable
landing places -- the seashore, aircraft landing strips, the topography of
the locality, the settlements within reach, climatic conditions at various
times of the year, the direction of the wind in various seasons,
characteristic landmarks, and routes from the landing place to the target of
sabotage. The route to be taken by sabotage intelligence groups and the
sabotage targets were photographed and located on the map...

Nuclear Plant Terrorism
Securing Reactors from Sabotage and Terrorism. This site describes the
threat of sabotage and terrorism to nuclear power plants with a special
focus on securing Three Mile Island.
The Commando Threat
During the 1990s, nearly half (46%) of security drills were failed by U.S.
nuclear power plants. This NRC program was called the Operational Safeguards
Response Evaluation. The exercises tested the capabilities of plant security
to successfully repel an adversary whose objective is radiological sabotage.
The drill pit one or more mock terrorists against the plant security guards.
The mock terrorists attempt to simulate destroying the plant's vital systems
to cause a core meltdown and breach of containment...

UNION CARBIDE STATEMENT
Shortly after the gas release, Union Carbide launched an aggressive effort
to identify the cause. A thorough investigation was conducted by the
engineering consulting firm Arthur D. Little. Its conclusion: The gas leak
could only have been caused by deliberate sabotage. Someone purposely put
water in the gas storage tank, causing a massive chemical reaction. Process
safety systems had been put in place that would have kept the water from
entering into the tank by accident.

Bahn has won a partial victory in its efforts to remove documents from the
Internet that allegedly provide instructions for sabotaging trains. A Dutch
court ordered Internet service provider XS4All to pull documents published
by Radikal, a group opposed to the transportation of nuclear waste via rail.
The group allegedly published instructions for sabotaging trains, known as
Castor transports, by cutting overhead cable lines, among other tactics.

Sabotage This rather naïve pamphlet caused the I. W. W. a world of trouble.
You can see why on the copy from which the following text is taken: the cover
bears
the notation, "Plaintiff's Ex. 11", showing that the pamphlet was used as
evidence against a Wobbly (possibly
James L. Daugherty of Wallace, Iowa, whose name and address are also stamped
on the cover, though I have not been able to confirm his membership or
positively to identify him). All copies of this pamphlet (and others on the same
subject) that remained in the union's possession were ordered destroyed when the
U. S. entered World War I, but it was too late. The pamphlet became an important
part of the government's case in the Chicago Trial. The prostitute press and
government have successfully implanted in the public mind a definition of
"sabotage" which no amount of propaganda or lawyers' arguments can alter. The
I. W. W. abandoned its advocacy of sabotage after 1917 (though not of certain
elements, such as "ca'
canny" or "work to rule" and the "open mouth"), but the idea retains an
appeal for romantics today, as evinced by the union's current lavish use of the
sab-cat and sabot symbols. The "union that
never forgets" seems to have forgotten at least one big lesson of the past.)
Sabotage:
A blast furnace operator at a steel mill purposely makes a slight slipup,
causing a cold shut-down. An ex-employee cuts telephone cables serving half a
million people. A plumber puts small nails in the pipes of a new building. A
computer programmer deletes all copies of data on a computer system. An
anti-tobacco activist creatively disfigures and rewrites a billboard advertising
cigarettes. A member of Ploughshares uses a hammer to dent the nosecone of a
nuclear missile.1 A forest activist surreptitiously pulls up survey stakes put
in by a logging company. An environmental activist pours sand into the fuel tank
of a bulldozer. An animal liberationist torches a laboratory used for animal
experiments. These are all examples of sabotage, which can be thought of as
purposeful action to damage, destroy or displace physical objects in order to
achieve a social objective.
