Any connection(payback) to the Pakistani Pres saying he was blackmailed into support? Us saying we're bomb you to the stone age. Well. Hmm. What timing
If you loose Electrical Power, and The Lights are Out,
If there is no Lights, It is then the "Dark Ages"
Which by definition is the "Rebels blew them back into the Stone Age"

Lots of Special Ops guys running around over there who aren't exactly busy pursuing OBL and are perfectly capable of a mission like this. Taking down a grid, particular one as rickity as Pak's presumably is, isn't much of a challenge.
This is the kind of stuff that our admin--and America historically--has specialized in. Things that are so incredibly blatent that they couldn't possibly be intentional. Shooting down the Iranian civilian airliner about 15 yrs ago after a serious of terror incidents linked to Iran... well, subsequent investigation has shown some spooky intentionality to it. Soo-prize, soo-prize.
And the Venezuelan foreign sec'y was detained and strip searched at JFK yesterday -- but that's just coincidence after Chavez's comments, of course. It was only because he late for his flight... set off some kind of security alert. Coulda happened to any Foreign Sec'y.
