Politics: Voice Of America’s website hacked by “Iranian Cyber Army”

  • Mrs. Clinton Do you want to hear the voice of oppressed nations will from heart of USA? Islamic world doesn’t believe USA trickery. We call on you to stop interfering in Islamic countries.
  • The “Iranian Cyber Army” • A message posted on the front page of Voice of America, which fell victim to the self-proclaimed Iranian hackers. This became known to us while attempting to view an article VOA had posted regarding the UN Security Council’s special session on Gaddafi and Libya. The link directed to the site’s main page, which had been taken over by a logo bearing an Iranian flag and a rifle, as well as this message. This is not uncommon for this group- Twitter was notably struck in 2009. source

World: Somali pirates are starting to rethink this piracy thing

  • Man, these Islamic guys want to cut my hands off. Maybe it’s time for a change.
  • Abshir Boyah • A Somali pirate boss who admits to 25 ship-hijackings in his time, on the thing that’s getting him to change his mind a little bit – Islamic sheiks who seem set against piracy. They’re not the only ones – local governments are starting to turn against piracy, too – but they’re the most influential. Plus, there’s only so many butt-kickings the pirates can get from the U.S. before it starts to sink in. • source
