KABUL, July 31, (APP/AFP) – The official Twitter account
of Afghan Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah has been hacked, and
a group apparently sympathetic to minority Shiite Hazara protesters
has claimed responsibility.
“I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.
#enlightenment #enlightenmentmovement,” a group identifying itself
as Ghost Squad Hackers tweeted from the account late Saturday.
The hashtags refer to the newly-founded Enlightenment Movement
led by Hazaras, who were targeted by suicide bombers loyal to the
Islamic State group during a huge protest in Kabul on July 23.
