This is the first I heard of this so thanks! I will have to delve into this though! I believe it was last year this happened there. Supposedly a boat anchor ripped the cable off Egypt. They denied any ship in the area.
It was no coincidence that the entire middle east was affected except for Israel and Iraq! Do not trust anything unless you can verify!
Knowing HAARP and that it is designed exactly to shut everyone down especially military I figured they were testing it. I talked about it yesterday again I believe. Look it up or Google it. It will explain a lot! Here it is bud! HAARP Whoever rules space rules the future hands down!
