Thanks to another reader who has a very interesting hunch:

Just a guess, but start checking SECRETLY owned cable

: Reader L poses a question about the effect on financials
: whenever undersea Internet wires are cut. I don't have any
: special knowledge in this area, so the question is posed to
: our other readers and agents. So far, one article quoted a
: Dubai source as saying their financials could be adversely
: affected if the cables remain cut for too long. In other
: cases, it was mentioned that backup alternatives are used,
: but that these methods cause delays. (Note: Also see map
: below.)

: Re: THIRD UNDERSEA INTERNET CABLE CUT....
: I wonder if the financial transfers use the same wires. Do you
: know if they do?

: Below is a map of the general area of the cut undersea cables
: between that part of the Meditteranean just north of Egypt
: (denoted by the red "1"), and that part of the
: Persian Gulf and Dubai in the U.A.E. (denoted by the red
: "2"). Notice how close Dubai is to the notorious
: Strait of Hormuz. And Iran.
