From/.

"Another undersea cable was cut on Friday, this one connecting Qatar
and UAE. 'The damage caused major problems for internet users in Qatar
over the weekend, but Qtel's loss of capacity has been kept below 40%
thanks to what the telecom said was a large number of alternative
routes for transmission. It is not yet clear how badly telecom and
internet services have been affected in the UAE.' In related news it's
been confirmed that the two cables near Egypt were not cut by ship
anchors."
