That was my first thought, but presumably Harry is going to find *some* answer (either in BG or in a later book when Thomas is released), and I think Harry isn't going to find out about the Oblivion War.
Of course maybe Harry will just find out that Lara ordered him to do it, and we (the readers) will know it's an Oblivion War thing (in the same way that Harry doesn't know in PT what happened to Carlos, but it's clear to the readers that it was Molly in "Cold Case").

It doesn't make them attack people physically.

We saw what happened when the hunger demon lost control in turn coat. That was a few steps further than just letting the demon feed when it is inconvenient. It completely took over and changed Thomas. The svartalves could very well interpret that as an attack.
And the skinwalker is still unaccounted for.

I am inclined to discount a skinwalker because I think they caught Thomas almost instantly.

It could also be some stupid experimenting with the hunger in a misguided attempt to protect Justine.

That actually makes sense, however assassination it usually a political act, or it is personal. One question not asked, was there a conspiracy? Was Thomas a part of that? What is it's motives? Or
was it purely personal on the part of Thomas, dislike or attempt to protect Justine? I don't think
Thomas lost his mind because of the Hunger, he was feeding. I don't think he lost control of his Hunger, because up until now, all that ever meant was feeding upon the victim until death, not trying to blow someone up..
