Franklin Police site targeted by hackers
FRANKLIN -- Hackers commandeered the official Franklin Police Department Web site Friday, posting anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiments, including graphic photos of what appear to be the bodies of dead children.
Posted under the banner "Owned by Red Devil and All Other Arab Hackers," the photographs included a close-up of the face of 6-year-old girl the hackers claim was killed by Israeli troops.
The caption beneath the photo read: "Is she terrorist??? or bush and sharon is???" The most graphic photo showed the body of a young child with a mangled leg, apparently killed in an explosion. The incendiary postings drew the ire of local Muslim and Jewish leaders, who said the move would only worsen the heightened tensions as conflict in Lebanon and Israel continues to escalate.
