Ships did not cut internet cables
- Egypt: Monday, February 04 - 2008 at 08:19
Ships are not responsible for damaging undersea internet cables in the Mediterranean, Egypt's Government says, reported AFP. Two cables were damaged earlier this week in the Mediterranean sea and another off the coast of Dubai, causing widespread disruption to internet and international telephone services in Egypt, Gulf Arab states and South Asia. A fourth cable linking Qatar to the United Arab Emirates was damaged on Sunday causing yet more disruptions, telecommunication provider Qtel said. Egypt's transport ministry said footage recorded by onshore video cameras of the location of the cables showed no maritime traffic in the area when the cables were damaged.
