corrossion found on DHL 727 aircraft

DHL Bahrain based 727 aircraft are starting to get grounded by mechanics due to corrossion found on various flight control cables.. Just recently Mechanics grounded one aircraft because 4 out of 7 cables used to assist in operating the elevator system were severed.. And a few weeks ago another 727 taking off out of Bahrain had the flight spoiler cables fail on one wing causing the spoilers to raise.. The aircraft was able to return to the airport with great difficulty..According to the mechanics they told management they had enough and will start grounding the aircraft for heavy checks..
