Islamic Hackers Announce Attack on Vatican Website
Islamic hackers allegedly supporting al-Qaeda claim they will launch an attack on the Vatican's official website on Wednesday night. Several internet sites which act as the mouthpieces of Islamic terrorism have launched an appeal in the past few days on hackers to attack the Holy See's site. The appeal has allegedly attracted dozens of hackers. Under the plan publicised by the fundamentalist sites, hackers will sabotage the website at 8 pm local time and continue to block it for the following 36 hours.
The appeal follows worldwide protests in the Muslim world over a speech last month in which Pope Benedict XVI quoted a Christian emperor linking Islam to violence. The address sparked protests, the recalling of ambassadors from Muslim countries and terror threats against Rome and the Vatican.
The pontiff has expressed regret that his words were "misunderstood" saying that the 14th century Christian emperor Manuel II Palaiologus did not express his own views.
