Sibbling comment is correct that this is an attack on a military research project, not civilian infrastructure. Thus non-responsive to the original request. Perhaps a better (but also possibly fictional) example is sabotage of the Soviet trans-Siberian gas pipeline in 1983. Certainly there appears to have been a US suggestion to surreptitiously provide the Soviet Union with compromised technology it was seeking in the West. But it's not clear whether compromised technology was provided, or whether the US caused the pipeline explosion. Here is one (controversial) source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_the_Abyss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_the_Abyss I wasn't going to comment at all, since the US does a lot of - ahem - "disruption" throughout the world. However, I'm not aware that the US does a lot of civilian infrastructure attacks outside of active military theatres. If true: it's a notable/interesting fact. But I'm also not sure that civilian infrastructure attacks are further beyond the pale than rendition, bombing, arms sales, embargoes, et cetera. I worry that we in the States are more sensitive to infrastructure attacks because (1) it's a weapon readily available to our national adversaries and (2) for the first time, we are the victims.
