Fourth cable cut

Last week, I posted on a strange sequence of severed undersea coms cables. Well, now a fourth cable has been cut and there are disturbing – but I’d stress unconfirmed – reports that the first two were not accidentally damaged:

The [Egyptian] transport ministry added that footage recorded by onshore video cameras of the location of the cables showed no maritime traffic in the area when the cables were damaged.

Wind farms ‘a threat to national security’

From The Times:

Senior Government Official*:

I want to be very clear now about what I want the public to do. There are two requests here. We need the public’s energy to help us.

Firstly anyone who has information about where these turbines currently are – please get in touch, our radar and hi-tec equipment are experiencing some problems. Second, do not approach these so-called farms but take photos. We are particularly keen to see these turbines in an idyllic setting, preferably bathed in a warm sunset with waves gently lapping the structures.
