As citanon posted, a fifth cable has been cut, although the cut might actually have been a second cut to one of the earlier 4 cables -- not sure this minor distinction makes much difference re who or what is causing said problems, and 2. Several news sources state that the Egyptian telecoms ministry insists that the cable-lay area off Alexandria is very well protected and marked, and NO ships either anchored in or transited through the area where 2 cables were cut a week ago.

This can take days or weeks even when the cable's original location was well known. The parties that lay the cable know it's rest position on the bottom to a remarkable degree of precision. On the other hand, when a cable is broken, particularly by dragging, it's position can be shifted by significant amounts. My conclusion would be that either someone provided accurate location data,unlikely situation, or they failed by unfortunate mistake.
