Why are “de” and “des” both ok in the following sentence?

The second sentence is incorrect, des is required here.

A reason that might explain why the translator was mistaken is that peut être and peut s’agir are synonymous but the latter use de:

Il peut s’agir d’attentats, c’est à dire d’attentats terroristes.
