Experts suspect Syrian gov’t is behind outageThe whole country of Syria lost connection to the Internet Tuesday afternoon. The Syrian government claims that the country-wide Internet outage is due to a hardware malfunction, but experts say that this is probably untrue since Syria has multiple connections to the Internet, and all of them failing at the same time is highly unlikely. Experts suspect the government intentionally caused the outage to hamper efforts by rebels. The BBC has more on the story:
The Syrian Arab News Agency reported that the fault would be fixed "as soon as possible".
