Ship impounded crew arrested for net blackout
The UAE has impounded a ship allegedly responsible for damaging undersea cables that caused weeks of disruption to internet and international telecoms services across much of the Middle East and Asia in February.
Dubai police have arrested two sailors found on board the vessel, owned by an Iraqi company, and will refer them to Dubai Public Prosecution next week, UAE daily Khaleej Times reported on Saturday, citing a police source.
A second ship, thought to have been responsible for the cable damage as well, was also impounded, but has since been released after paying "huge" compensation to India's Flag Telecom, owner of two of the four affected cables.
Two intercontinental cables connecting Europe and Asia were cut off the coast of Egypt on January 30, followed just days later by breaks in two more cables off the UAE coast.
Nope nothing like that posted.
You’re on top of things, MamaDearest.
It will be interesting to watch the updates on this.
