QuoteThe Vietnamese government says the country's international communication link could be cut by poor fishermen trying to boost their income by stealing undersea telecom cables.

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung says the police and army will clamp down on cable theft to protect Vietnam's information and economic security. He says undersea fibre optic cables, both in use and defunct, have been stolen by impoverished fishermen.

Border guards in southern Ba Ria Vung Tau province recently arrested three vessels carrying 40 tonnes of stolen cable. Vietnam now has only one active undersea cable link, as the other link is broken with at least 98 kilometres of cable missing.
