Internet Cable Cut

Here is a link to CNN News.

This story is about an anchor snapping an internet cable line in the Middle East. The story continues to say that they think the American government had something to do with it. I believe this could POSSIBLY be true, but even still, just dragging a ship anchor on the ocean floor could catch any kind of cable easily and cut it in two.
But what I find quite amazing about this story is that there was a bunch of internet conspiracy theories that were being spread around during this blackout. This cut internet cable made many people go without internet access for awhile, which made other people believe this was done to spread information around the airwaves without anyone knowing about it. But what kind of person thinks they need to cut internet lines to spread a message over the airwaves? The kind of person who probably was responsible for the cut internet line in the first place!
