> Sabotage varies from highly technical "coup de main" acts that require detailed planning and the use of specially trained operative...

Interesting that the meaning of "coup de main" here is the complete opposite of how it is actually used in French, where it means "helping hand". Used for informal and occasional situations. An example of a "coup de main" is when a friend gives you a few minutes of his time to help you move a heavy piece of furniture.
