Syrian Internet Cut Nationwide for a Second Day 
------------------------------------------------


 
The ongoing conflict in Syria has entered the second day of an online
blackout as Internet service and many phone connections have been wiped
out across the country. The United States and multiple news outlets have
pinned the outage on the Syrian government, sparking concerns they may
be preparing for a major assault. Syria's information minister blamed
the blackout on "terrorists." The road to the Damascus airport reopened
Friday after heavy fighting between government forces and rebel fighters
cut off access and prompted the cancellation of flights.
