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.
