Wasn't me, Honest!
A GRANNY wielding a spade cut off the internet to an entire country while scavenging for copper.
Georgian police arrested the 75-year-old who single-handedly severed web connections to neighbouring Armenia with her shovel.
The elderly woman — dubbed the 'spade hacker' — had been digging for scrap metal in the village of Ksani when she struck a fibre-optic cable running between the two nations.
The cable serves both countries as well as Azerbaijan — all three internet providers in Armenia were crippled for hours and services in all three countries were affected.
Georgian interior ministry spokesman Zura Gvenetadze said: "She found the cable while collecting scrap metal and cut it with a view to stealing it."
She faces up to three years in prison if convicted of damaging property in the impoverished ex-Soviet state.
But because of her age the authorities released her pending further enquiries.
