I believe they'd plan it. I don't believe they'd go through with it. They saw the US response after 9/11, and Europe's near ready to go anyway.

Russia already did this but it was things like exploding batteries introduced into the system via shipping companies. Tusk makes it sound like second 9/11 to get rally around the flag effect before upcoming elections.
