Syria’s Information Minister Omran al-Zoabi claims “terrorists” attacked Syria’s Internet network causing the nation-wide web blackout Thursday. The statement was made to Syria’s Al-Ikhbariyya al-Souriyya TV channel.

A Syrian State TV report said the Internet blackout was brought on by a fault in the technical cable, according to Reuters, contradicting Zoabi’s claims of a militant attack.

State-owned Syrian Telecommunications Establishment controls all of the country’s Internet networks, making Zoabi’s allegations less than credible among Internet activists on social networks.
