Feb.25 - Three optical fiber3 cables of two communication companies were destroyed in Baicheng County in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on early Friday morning, causing a halt in telecommunications between Baicheng and Aksu Prefecture and, crucially, to a nearby military garrison.

 

China national radio reports that more than half of the villages in Baicheng have been encountering telephone signal interruptions for over ten hours.

 

Technicians have ascertained4 that the vandals destroyed the cables for the purpose of sabotage5, rather than for the theft of the wires. One of the 3 cables was severed6 outright7.

 

And, this being the first such case in Xinjiang, it was difficult to establish the points of internal breakage in the other two.

 

Technicians finally located the breakages after some seven hours of investigation8.

 

Communications were resumed on the same day, following a rush repair.

 

According to preliminary estimates, the direct economical loss will exceed one million yuan or 125,000 US dollars.

 

The case is currently under investigation by local police.
