  An alternative explanation to the emergence of sin^2(2 theta_13) > 0 is
discussed. It is pointed out that the recorded T2K events might have been due
to some other new physics in the neutrino sector, related to the LSND/MiniBooNE
sterile neutrino anomalies, for which there is nowadays a growing evidence. The
presently running ICARUS detector with the CNGS beam will be able to
distinguish between these two possible sources of the effect
