Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "Authorities in Tunisia maintain that the blast was an accident caused when a truck carrying natural gas went out of control and crashed into the wall surrounding the Griba synagogue on the island of Djerba, bursting into flames as a group of German tourists visited the site."

That does sound like a bit of a fabrication, doesn't it? I don't recall very many natural gas problems associated with trucks. There's been some major blowups with train cars loaded with the stuff, it blows up houses every now and then, and it regularly kills people when pipelines leak, but I don't recall any major disasters associated with trucks.

I suppose that everything eventually happens, but I'm going to assume that this one, happening in front of a synagogue, and with credit taken by the enemy, was enemy action and not happenstance.
