BBC reports that Al-Jazeera site tackles hackers

“Fingers crossed that it is back up and running properly in the next few days,” Newsroom coordinator Susie Sirri told BBC News Online.

“We don’t anticipate farther hacking as we have put in enough security barriers,” she added.

So they say!! But have you gone to the english Al-Jazeera site lately?
No??! Then hop over to their site right now!

Whoa!! you’re it!! You are the hacker!! I’m not saying that. The site says so. Dear reader, your IP address is in the list of IP addresses banned by Al-Jazeera.

Not a very bright team of web-site security they have, do they?!

India reacts sharply to Powell’s remarks

“No other issue is as central in Jammu and Kashmir as cross-border terrorism,” the minister (External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha) emphasised adding, “To the extent to which any other country would pressure Pakistan as part of the global war on terrorism, it is fine, but it is our war.”

Well said Mr. Sinha!! India’s war is its own to fight.

And well… for some people who feel “Why again should the US/UK give a shit about India’s terrorist problems?“, go ask this question to your good old Mr. Colin Powell. Perhaps he has some answers as to why US likes to give a shit!
