Middle Eastern Internet Access Knocked Out

It sure is interesting that one cut undersea cable can knock out the internet access for 6 countries like that.

Internet access was largely knocked out for two days in at least six countries that were affected — Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Sudan and Yemen.

It is the second time this year that trans-Mediterranean cables to Europe have been severed. The earlier cut, in late January, was apparently caused by a ship's anchor.

Let's hope that the terrorists don't start using frogmen with arc welders to disrupt the Internet Access of their fellow Muslims.
