The Omani News Agency has claimed hackers were responsible for publishing offensive photographs of recently re-elected Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika on its website.

The ONA website was not working on Sunday morning following the embarrassing incident in which the faces of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and Mohamed Abdelaziz, head of the Polisario Front and President of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, were superimposed on the profile headshot of Bouteflika, media agencies have reported.
