Someone climbed a 15-foot tower in Southern Arizona cutting a fiber optic cable used by Broadwing and Tucson Electric Power. This was within five feet of the 138,000-volt power line. The site was also guarded by barbed wire. This is not your typical backhoe. Rural areas have long dealt with the occasional shotgun damaged cable or microwave horn; or the farmer burying the dead cow in the back pasture. But I don't recall two reported acts of sabotage in less than 30 days before. http://www.fox11az.com/news/local/stories/KMSB_local_fiberoptic_091203.9d8bc...
