Burma cuts internet

Saturday, 29 September 2007
Burma lost all connection to the internet on Friday as street confrontations continued in Rangoon, according to the Oslo-based opposition radio station, Democratic Voice of Burma.

The state telecommunications company blamed a break in an underwater cable, but the move appeared aimed at stopping further photos and video footage from reaching the outside world.

In the capital, protesters reportedly gathered near the Sule pagoda, while the army had blocked the main roads to the City Hall and were patrolling the downtown area.
