What's this going to be worth? $2/barrel increase?

How long do you think it will be before they actually succeed in doing it? It's the sole way to bring the Western world to its knees. A coordinated effort of refineries/oil storage/ and drilling would probably cause a loss which would never be made up. Especially If it becomes a more common form of terrorism.

I cringe every time I see a report like this.

They have been blowing up pipeline in Iraq for a while now, so technically they are already doing it. Infact given that the nut-jobs formerly known as Monotheism and Holy war in the land of the two rivers traded in that title for an al Qu'eda franchise a few years ago we can even say honestly that AQ have been helping in taking of a couple of million barrels a day for some time now.

Its when AQ finaly branch out into Nigeria that things may get interesting, that or really make some progress in the KSA.

Mind you if Praetus's Iraqi Dawn succeeds in driving AQ out of al Anbar, I guess alot of battle hardend vetrens will return to the Kingdom with a chip on there shoulder about being betrayed by the heirs of al Saud and Wahabi.
