| France Denies TV5Monde Cyberjihadists Leaked Defense Docs |
| 2015-04-11 |
| [AnNahar] La Belle France's defense ministry on Friday dismissed claims by self-proclaimed Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... cyberjihadists that they had posted classified army documents online when they hacked into a major television channel. The bully boyz shut down transmissions at TV5Monde from late Wednesday to Thursday and hijacked its website and social networks, posting documents on its Facebook page purporting to be the ID cards and CVs of relatives of French soldiers involved in anti-IS operations. But the ministry denied this on Friday after "thorough examination" of the "supposedly confidential" documents. "None of these documents mention the identity of French soldiers or of their families," it said in a statement. "The defense ministry categorically denies that those who attacked TV5Monde's broadcasting capabilities published defense-related confidential documents." The cyberjihadists were able to black out the 11 channels of TV5Monde for several hours, and the station was then forced to broadcast pre-recorded programs for most of Thursday until it resumed full operations around 6 pm local time. |
