Forwarded from: Jei <jei@private> http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200409/s1209349.htm September 29, 2004 Hackers have attacked a website of an Al Qaeda-linked group, that beheaded two US hostages in Iraq, re-routing visitors to a page showing a penguin toting a machine gun and warning against hosting such sites. The site of the Tawhid and Jihad Group of Al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, set up on a site providing free web hosting, last week carried a tape of British hostage Kenneth Bigley appealing for his life as well as videos of the decapitation of the two US hostages. "Host them and your next!" was the message left on the site by the hackers, calling themselves TeAmZ USA, who have already attacked several Islamist and pro-Al Qaeda websites. Zarqawi's group has threatened to kill Bigley next if women prisoners in Iraq are not released, but has not set a deadline. Al Qaeda and other militant groups have widely used the Internet to spread their message, often using sites providing free web hosting and frequently moving after their sites have been taken down. _________________________________________ Donate online for the Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes - http://www.c4i.org/ethan.html
