Clipped?

Has a fifth undersea Internet cable been clipped? That's what this latest report suggests (HT: The Jawa Report). Something strange is definitely afoot. I'm sure the conspiracy theorists are hard at work trying to figure out what is going on. Some are suggesting the US Navy's latest spy sub, the USS Jimmy Carter might be behind these incidents, while others are pointing fingers at Israel (how original).

Could it be as simple as structurally deficient or flawed cables? Or is there a more sinister explanation? No one really knows, or if they do, they're not saying.

In any event, this is doing a real number on Internet communications throughout the Middle East and South Asia.
