A 16-hour communication shutdown sparks off rumors of a possible coup in Bangladesh, a country that has already faced a revolt by border guards a few months ago.

The Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) -- responsible mainly for guarding Bangladesh's over 4,000 km (2,485 miles) border with India and Myanmar -- revolted on February 25 at their headquarters in Dhaka and a dozen other towns.

The rebellion, which lasted 33 hours and ended after the rebels laid down their arms, left at least 80 people killed -- mostly army officers.

With Bangladesh being completely blacked out from world communication including internet and phone lines on Friday, rumors started spreading about a possible assassination attempt on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

It became a grave concern not only for the country's intelligence agencies, but also in the region, and across the world.

India's intelligence agencies were especially alerted as India is celebrating its Independence Day on Saturday. Unable to get any information, security was stepped up along the borders with Bangladesh.

It later turned out that the failure was a result of a disruption in the country's submarine cable link.

There was couple of these 'disruptions to sub cables' in the Mediterranean area a couple of years ago.

Online columnist Ian Brockwell says the cables may have been cut deliberately in an attempt by the US and Israel to deprive Iran of internet access.

I think there were about ten such incidents in total, all in quite a short time-frame. Now, if ABC is suggesting an alternative reason, can be sure it is a red herring. So - why cut the cables at all? Eventually they will be repaired, and nothing of particular import requiring service denial happened.

These cables carry information. If for some reason you want to either have access to that information, or inject false information, you would need to have some kind of relay/terminal fitted.

While the cables were down this could have been installed at another point in the cable.
