A fourth submarine cable in the middle east was damaged Sunday
between Haloul, Qatar and Das, United Arab Emirates.
This is in addition to the damage affecting FLAG, SAE-ME-WE4, FALCON
cables.
Afer reviewing surveillance video of the area, Egypt's ministry of
maritime transportation is reporting no ships were near the FLAG or
SAE-ME-WE4 cables 12-hours before or after the cable damage near
Alexanderia, Egypt. The reason for outage of the cables has
not been identified yet.
