Spain Hackers Sabotage Museum Site MADRID, Spain (AP) - Computer hackers supporting the armed Basque separatist group ETA sabotaged the Web page of the Guggenheim Museum in the Basque city of Bilbao over the weekend, a museum official said Monday. The culprits tampered with the site Sunday so that it showed slogans praising ETA and its goal of independence for the Basque country, an area straddling the border between northern Spain and southwest France, said spokeswoman Neria Abasolo. The site was disrupted for a few hours, she added. Photographs of imprisoned ETA members accompanied statements written in English calling France and Spain oppressors. ETA is blamed for the deaths of nearly 800 people in its more than 30-year struggle for independence. The group called a cease-fire in Sept. 1998, raising hopes for an end to the conflict, but ended the truce in January of this year, expressing frustration with the pace of the peace process. The group has claimed responsibility for two car bombings this year which killed three people, and been blamed for another that injured seven. ------------------------------------- http://museum-security.org/ Generous sponsorship grants by Mosler Inc (http://www.mosler.com/), and the Netherlands Museums Association (http://www.museumvereniging.nl/) keep the Museum Security Network a free service. http://www.museumsecurity.org/helmantel http://www.culturalheritagewatch.org/news.htm ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
