    Looks like over 92% of the internet servers in Syria were shut down suddenly at 10:26AM UTC. Phone service has also been severed. This can only mean something foul is happening, right now.

    The road to the airport of the Syrian capital Damascus has been closed and all flights cancelled amid reports of fierce clashes with rebels in the area.

    The government appears to be mounting an unprecedented offensive against rebel-held districts in the east of the city, BBC correspondents report.

    The clashes came as internet and phone systems in the country went down.

    The Syrian government has previously cut off access to the internet during major operations.

    However, correspondents say a nationwide switch-off is unprecedented.

    But Syria's information minister said "terrorists" had cut off the internet and that engineers were working to repair the fault.

    thankfully we have the pope to be our guide when it comes to providing factual information in regards to historical (and future) events. :pac:

    One man makes vague and general statements about something inherently unprovable, and the other... oh wait, I see what you did there!
