[General] دعوة

[Burhan Khalid]

FALCON said that they lifted a stray anchor from the cable that was cut 
between UAE and Oman.

For the cut between Qatar and UAE, they said it was not a cable cut, but 
rather a power disruption issue that caused the downtime.

For the cut in the Med, they are not saying definitively; but it seems 
that it was not terrorism or other conspiracy theory-type things, maybe 
sharks having a bit of fun? :)
