Transmission of NBN, Al-Jadeed and Al-Manar were all disrupted over the weekend, when two leading network providers NileSat and Arabsat were hit by what has been described as a “sophisticated” blocking attack. Broadcasting of Qatar-based Al-Jazeera was also scrambled. "Unfortunately there is deliberate jamming by Libya ... which is illegal," said the CEO of Thuraya Satellite Telecommunications Co., based in the UAE, according to Reuters.
