DOHA (AFP) — An undersea telecoms cable linking Qatar to the United Arab Emirates was damaged, disrupting services, telecommunications provider Qtel said on Sunday, the latest such incident in less than a week.
The cable was damaged between the Qatari island of Haloul and the UAE island of Das on Friday, Qtel's head of communications Adel al Mutawa told AFP.
Cables were also damaged last week in the Mediterranean and off the coast of Dubai, causing widespread disruption to Internet and international telephone services in Egypt, Gulf Arab states and south Asia.

Egipskie Ministerstwo Komunikacji doniosło, że w czasie, w którym doszło do przerwania podmorskich kabli optycznych, w okolicach Aleksandrii nie było żadnych statków. Tym samym twierdzenia, jakoby winnym awarii, która pozbawiła znaczną część Bliskiego Wschodu i Indii dostępu do Sieci, był statek wlokący kotwicę, tracą rację bytu.
Pierwotnie ministerstwo twierdziło, że winnym był statek, który zrzucił kotwicę na kabel konsorcjum SEA-ME-WE4, a później kabel grupy Flag Telecom. Jednak egipski komitet transportu morskiego przeanalizował ruch statków na tym obszarze w okresie 12 godzin przed oraz po zajściu zdarzenia i odkrył, że nie było tam wówczas żadnych statków!
Ministerstwo stwierdziło też, że 5-milowa strefa dookoła portu w Aleksandrii jest obszarem zakazanym dla żeglugi, dlatego w ogóle nie powinno być tam żadnych statków.

Four undersea communication cables have been cut in the past week, raising questions about the safety of the oceanic network that handles the bulk of the world's Internet and telephone traffic.
Most recently, a cable operated by Qatar's Q-Tel, which linked Qatar to the United Arab Emirates through the islands of Haloul and Das, was cut Friday.
Q-Tel will not know what caused the Qatar-UAE Submarine Cable System rupture until it sends a repair ship to pull the cable off the ocean floor, Mutawa said.
The Egyptian Ministry of Communications and Information Technology said Sunday that no ships had passed through the area in the Mediterranean where two cables, known as the Sea Me We 4 and Flag's Europe-Asia cable, were cut earlier last week.
A third cable, known as Falcon, was cut Friday morning about 55 kilometers, or 35 miles, off the coast of Dubai in the Gulf. Wet, windy weather in some areas around the Gulf has shut ports and delayed ships.

A total of five cables being operated by two submarine cable operators have been damaged with a fault in each. These are SeaMeWe-4 (South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe-4) near Penang, Malaysia, the FLAG Europe-Asia near Alexandria, FLAG near the Dubai coast, FALCON near Bandar Abbas in Iran and SeaMeWe-4, also near Alexandria.
The first cut in the undersea Internet cable occurred on January 23, in the Flag Telcoms FALCON submarine cable which was not reported. This has not been repaired yet and the cause remains unknown, explained Jaishanker.
A major cut affecting the UAE occurred on January 30 in the SeaMeWe-4 (South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe-4). “This was followed by another cut on February 1 which was on the same cable (FALCON). This affected the du network majorly as connections from the Gulf were severed while there was limited connectivity within the region,” said Khaled Tabbara, executive director, Carrier Relations, du.
