Yes, BUT: Don't use that circuitous route through the attic, because
lightning won't follow it. Lighting will take the lowest impedance path,
which is usually the shortest one. DO bond everything together by the
shortest practical path, more connections are better. DO bond the tower
directly to the electric service ground by the shortest practical path.
Also, be sure to also bond together the telephone ground, and the CATV
ground, the satellite dish ground with the electrical ground and the tower
ground.
