That's not sabotage at all.
As it relates to the fiber, its not "deliberately and maliciously
destroying [fiber]"... unless the goal was to cause a derailment which
hurt the train operator both from the operation of the train and
subsequent revenues they might lose from fiber operations along the same
right-of-way -- then *that* would be sabotage.
In the case you outlined above, barring other motivations, the fiber
would be "collateral damage".
That said, Cogent's page says nothing about sabotage
(status.cogentco.com) and I can't find the reference on teliasonera's
page.... Link please?
