British Minister likens Anonymous to fascists and racists
Former Wales and Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Hain says he is "angry" that his website has been targeted by computer hacking network Anonymous.
The group has said it is attacking government websites in retaliation for the UK's handling of the case of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. But the Neath MP said the move was a form of intimidation.
He said: "It reminds me of attacks I received in the anti-apartheid and anti-fascist struggles." He added that he had actually supported Mr Assange, who has been granted asylum by Ecuador in a bid to avoid extradition to Sweden, where faces questioning over allegations of sexual assault - which he denies. Mr Hain, who was part of South Africa's anti-apartheid movement in the 1970s, said he felt "angry" at being "singled out" in the hacking, which targeted his website on Saturday morning.
