Internet cables cut

[Steven]

Does anyone else think it is strange that four Internet cables have been cut in the past week shutting down Internet activity across the Middle East?

Another reason for mentioning this is that just before the events of 11th September 2001 many Muslim websites were shut down and we all know what happened next.

We should also consider that the Super Bowl is on this weekend and would be considered a prime target.

I am no conspiracy theorist but all of this too coincidental for my liking and I would like to be long Bonds and short Equities at this time. :icon_conf :icon_wink

I hope I am wrong but it all a bit strange and most likely done by a Western, possibly Israeli given the location, government as realistically they are the only ones with the resources to pull something like this off. It would seem to me to be a planned operation.

Strangely Israel is unaffected and Iran is completely cut off.

And they said its going to take over a week to sort out ,which from your fisrt post covers the supper bowl weekend .

It all could be just one of them freak things that the ships anchor cut though the cable ,but then again it could be part of a plan ,did they say it took china out too

In four different locations all within a few days. I think it is much more likely that we will get into the play offs. :icon_bigg :icon_wink

Where does it say four cables have been cut?

It looks like it's only two, and they could be together, and were damaged in the same incident.

Look a bit like someone has cut them for a reason not saying that has happened but 4 cables cut you have too start thinking somethings going on

Looks to me like three cables, but only two incidents. Two incidents is unlikely, but not totally unbelievable.
