THE Bahamas Telecommunications Corporation (BTC) is blaming the disruption of its services in Andros on pigeon hunters who, they said, "shot through the fibre optic cable that carries all of the communication capabilities to settlements at the end of South Andros, primarily Mars Bay and a neighbouring settlement."

The company added in a press statement that "parts of North Andros also suffered BTC outages a few weeks ago also due to gun shooting pigeon hunters."
