Internet services in Syria have appeared to have shut down for the second time in six months.
Web monitoring companies reported regular traffic on the internet dropped to zero just before 10p.m. local time on Tuesday .
Syria last experienced a shutdown for three days in November 2012.
The government has been accused of shutting down the internet on purpose though they blame terrorists. residents confirmed the blackout, but said mobile phones and landlines were working normally.
The regime of President Bashar al-Assad has been fighting a bloody internal conflict for two years.
Activists suggested at the time of the last internet shutdown that the government might have been planning a major offensive, or that it might have been attempting to disrupt rebel communications.
