Why can't the public be informed of the cause of 3 cables being cut in 3 days? Is it terrorism? I think it CAN'T be a coincidence.

They don't want us to be alarmed about the fact that we are on the verge of a global terrorist disaster that will render mankind extinct. My advice: move underground.

It was so frustrating not being told what was happening even when an American international school in Cairo was down! However, Egypt is very unpredictable every day.

They needed the wire from the cables to arm the nuclear warheads.

I live in Alexandria, Egypt.
Most probably yu didnot read the daily Egyptian newspapers, Arabic version. In these, there was news-covering of the severe seastorms that hit the eastern part of the Mideteranian. And these newscoverage reports explained to the Public that the seastorms were responsible for cutting the cables. I also read that a contract was signed in a week ago to have a fourth new cable connecting Egypt to Europe to spread the load of communication on 4 cables instead of 3. All these cables stretch down deep into the Mideteranian waters. It happened before that cutting of the cables, meaning it was not the 1 st time to have the seastorms cutting the Internet connection to Europe & the rest of the World.
I wrote that I live in Alexandria Egypt to tell yu that the sea storm which hit Alexandria in that week in which the Internet connection was cut has been one of the most violent sea storms that I ever witnessed in my entire life in Alexandria.

Yu Americans live in the Paranoia of the War in Terror. Luckily, with 12 Million European tourists visiting Egypt per year, I can tell that the World doesn't buy your American- made Phobia of Terror. Keep living with your Ghosts. We will continue enjoying our lives ignoring your invented Islamophobia.
