        Etisalat managed to fix the technical problem which wiped out Thursday's trading at the Dubai Financial Market by around 3pm that day, reported Gulf News. The cause of the problem was a cable which had been damaged by construction work in the area. Initial reports had put the problem down to last week's earthquake in Taiwan.

        Tuesday's earthquake off the Taiwanese coast which measured 6.7 on the Richter scale and severed several underwater cables has caused communication problems for thousands of Asian pilgrims currently undertaking the Hajj pilgrimage, reported Arab News.
