In two apparently independent events, a total of three undersea cables normally carrying a large amount of data, including Internet and Telephone signals, have been cut. The first two cables were in the Eastern Mediterranean offshore from Egypt, and the third cut, apparently a day later, is between Dubai and Muscat
There are conflicting reports of how the two Alexandria cables were cut. Oman's largest telecom, Omantel, said a tropical storm caused the damage while ...the United Arab Emirates' second largest telecom, said the cables were cut due to ships dragging their anchors.
Iran is said to have lost most of its internet connectivity. This is very worrisome. Watch the Bush Administration closely!!!
