Internet in Syria is apparently back online now...

Syrian Army on higher ground - already in offensive for some time:

So my impression is that this recent internet and mobile network shout down is a tactical move by government - as it was the previous one:

...Activists claim that authorities have limited internet traffic in selected areas to cut rebel communications during major offensives. Last November communications blackout also included telephone services.

Meanwhile Asad is possibly trying Israel to taste it's own medicine - threatening to provoke forced move/attack (two projectiles on occupied Golan heights). Also some are saying (Advance.hr) that Asad is using a limited resources (not more than 50%) to counter-fight imported terrorist and keeping main army units in "background" ready for IDF to make a move...

And - mind if i ask - since when this guy turned "Antisemitic"?

Yeah, it's kinda perverse, but shutting off the Internet actually gets more attention on the issue than it had before the take down.

People who run the internet (those who are responsible for the major fiber-optic links and DNS servers, for example) will be looking into this, and it's likely that they'll figure out whether it was the government or rebel attack(s) responsible, however the truth might never be reported. It's the first casualty of war.

I tend to doubt that the Syrian government would intentionally cut off most of the country from the internet, if only because it needs internet access too, and it must know how to shut down limited areas to support localized militatary offensives. So I tend to believe that the (US) CIA-duh did this.

The Syrian rebels are losing. When Robert Fisk says so in The Independent, it's not just a guess.
 
Did some temp work for Flag Telecom in the early 2000 years. Worked for one of the directors there. At the time they credited themselves as being the backbone of the internet with deep sea fibre optic cables and POPS (points of presence) nearly everywhere.

At the time there were high level Saudi, South American and some other investors. I also recall hearing the name Shimon Peres too.
So all times i heard the internet went down in countries i felt that the investors were not politically allied to those particular countries and could pull the plug anytime.

I just checked their site:
http://sdc.flagtelecom.com/About_Flag/about_executives2.htm

It seems an amalgamation has taken place with an Indian company.

In 1990, the FLAG Telecom concept initially emerged with the Fibreoptics Association for International Research (FAIR), a subsidiary of Gulf Associates, proposing a fibre-optic cable system as an alternative transmission system for international traffic to and from the Middle East.

September:
In conjunction with FLAG Telecom's initial founding members, Gulf Associates, Nynex and Dallah Al Baraka Group, FAIR initiates an independent feasibility study to assess market demand in the Middle East area. More than 300 senior telecoms executives from 30 international carriers and five regulatory agencies in no fewer than 25 countries are surveyed. The study confirms a substantial need for a new fibre-optic system, not just around the Gulf, but along the entire under-served UK to Japan route that is now FLAG Europe-Asia.
 
And now - let the WHOLE World know who lead Mr Hawking astray:

Turkish troops entered Syria:
A convoy of Turkish tanks entered Syrian territory to evacuate the tomb of the Ottoman Empire’s forefather and a small garrison guarding it. The military operation launched to rescue the holy place was coordinated with the Kurds.

...

The task force of approximately 100 military vehicles, including 39 tanks, crossed the Syrian border to a territory controlled by Kurdish Kurdish People’s Protection Unit (YPG) fighters and passed through the city of Kobani, recaptured by the YPG from the Islamic State in January.

...

The reaction of Damascus to Turkey’s unannounced ground operation in Syria has been harsh, as the Syrian government said it holds Turkey responsible for “repercussions of this aggression.”

Syrian national TV has accused Ankara of “flagrant aggression," saying the Turkish government had informed the Syrian consulate in Istanbul about the ground operation, but hadn’t waited for Syria's agreement, Reuters reported.

G. Duff on VT conveys rumors of attempted assassination of president Assad:

Reports received from Damascus only minutes ago cite an assassination attempt on President Assad. There is nothing else available, VT Damascus bureau chief is meeting now with administration officials.

We did get this from sources in Syria’s security services. While going thru the checklist of usual suspects, the period of “silence” came when naming France. Few in the west are aware of the influence France has in Lebanon and Syria. This region was awarded to France after World War I and the French language, culture and the French security services and their Israeli masters and Turkish partners haunt the shadows of Damascus like ghouls.

Some more rumors have reached Mr Duff:

By Nahed al Husaini and Gordon Duff

Two French nationals along with Syrian Kurds were arrested in a bizarre attempt on the life if Bashar al Assad, President of Syria. The French government has already contacted Damascus through direct channels asking for the return of those arrested. They French indicate they are willing to enter into negotiations for the return of the captive accused assassins.

The alleged conspirators are said to have been working with a Kurdish terror cell that had penetrated the household staff of Assad. The Kurds had planted explosives inside detergent containers at the presidential palace south of Damascus. The attack was not successful.

The French security officers arrested had been in Syria earlier as part of a secret combined French/Syrian task force on terrorism. Two French intelligence officers who were smuggled across the border into Syria by Al Nusra militants south of Qalamoun, scene of an intense battle that has raged for weeks.

Their previous visit to Damascus earlier this year was a secret mission that accompanied the French delegation during their Febrary 27, 2015 visit. The official reason for the visit was to arrange for the reopening of the French embassy which had been closed since 2015.

Syrian officials speaking anonymously say that the Damascus government believes the would be assassins are part of a Kurdish faction trained inside Jordan. The explosives used were from the Royal Jordanian Army.
