Could any of the fires have been terrorism?

Sphere: Related ContentThis is a big “what if,” and definitely thinking out loud. But let’s approach this question by first acknowledging the things we do know:
1) Al-Qaida has expressed a desire to attack Los Angeles
2) Al-Qaida’s attempts to attack L.A. thus far have been thwarted, including the millennium bomber caught at the Canadian border and the foiled plot to fly a plane into the U.S. Bank Tower downtown
Now, in 2003 an al-Qaida operative in custody reportedly told officials that the terrorist group had tossed around the idea of starting wildland fires in Western states, and the FBI alerted agencies about such potential plots:
“The (Arizona) Republic reported that the detainee, who was not identified, said the plan involved three or four people setting wildfires using timed devices in Colorado, Montana, Utah and Wyoming that would detonate in forests and grasslands after the operatives had left the country.
The memo noted that investigators couldn’t determine whether the detainee was telling the truth.”
