Jihad accuses U.S., Israeli groups of wrecking its Web site
A Palestinian militant group accused American and Israeli groups Saturday of hacking into its Web site and destroying it. Islamic Jihad, which has carried out suicide bombings in Israel, said the unidentified groups had destroyed the site to silence "the Palestinian voice." In a statement faxed to The Associated Press in Beirut, the group said: "In an attempt aimed at silencing the Palestinian voice - which speaks for the resistance and defends the Palestinian peopleâs right - hostile and malevolent Zionist and American quarters have struck the official Web site of Al Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement." The statement said it was trying to restore the Web site. It said this was not the first time its site had been attacked by unidentified "Zionist and American quarters." Islamic Jihad and the Palestinian group Hamas have been responsible for most of the suicide bombings in Israel. The two groups are on the U.S. State Department list of terrorist organizations.
