Although people have probed into the possibilities of false flag
government involvement or a terrorist attack on these cables in this
incident, it doesn't appear to hold much water with the public after
monitoring commentry across the internet.

n3td3v post to his news group a day or so ago about an incident, which
*was* a terrorist act against internet cables, but isn't related to
this case. Interesting all the same.

Article teaser snippet:

"about four kilometre-length of NITEL's high capacity fibre optic cables were
destroyed around Carter Bridge in Lagos when some vandals opened a
cable duct, poured inflammable liquid like petrol in the duct and set
the cables ablaze. The cables burnt over the night into the early
hours of the next day before the site was located by NITEL officials."
