Telecommunications personnel probed

    ABIDJAN

    Security agents are investigating some personnel of the Liberia
    Telecommunications Corporation (LTC) following a fire that broke out on Sunday at the company's main facility, disrupting digital and international links, Star radio reported.

    Agents from the Ministry of Justice, the National Security Agency (NSA), police and LTC management, are probing employees from the technical and security departments about the fire which damaged switching facilities.

    A source in Monrovia told IRIN on Wednesday that local calls were not going through, although they did work for a short time the previous day. An LTC statement said technicians were trying and repair the system and that services would be restored in the "shortest possible time", Star reported.
