Middle East Internet Blackouts Spur Geopolitical SuspicionsBloggers says big event could be right around the corner, Irancompletely cut off Paul Joseph WatsonPrison PlanetFriday, February 1st, 2008Unprecedented mass Internet outages throughout the Middle East andAsia after no less than four undersea Internet cables were cut withoutexplanation are spurring suspicions that a major event of geopoliticalproportions may be just around the corner.Internet blackouts are impacting large tracts of Asia, the MiddleEast and North Africa after four undersea cable connections weresevered. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait,Bahrain, Pakistan and India, are all experiencing severe problems.According to InternetTraffic.com, Iran has been completely cut offfrom the Internet, though Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's blog can still beaccessed.Most notably, Israel and Iraq are unaffected by the outage. "Stephan Beckert, an analyst with TeleGeography, a research companythat consults on global Internet issues, said the damaged cablescollectively account for the majority of international communicationsbetween Europe and the Middle East," reports CNN.Officials say that the cause behind the severing of the cablesremains unknown, but United Arab Emirates' second largest telecomcompany said the cables were cut due to ships dragging their anchors.Is this a pre-cursor to throw a veil over an imminent staged event inthe Middle East?"What are the odds? Who benefits? asks the Crimes and Corruptionsblog. "Let's see. Iranian rapprochement: "Recent months have broughtsigns of a growing rapprochement between Iran and Egypt.""What nation would not like this and has subs which could cut thecables? Why do it?Payback as over the net business is badly damaged. Or is this asetup for more?Note the internet is working just fine in Israel."
