'Hacktivist' group Anonymous says it will avenge Charlie Hebdo attacks
Hacker group Anonymous have released a video and a statement via Twitter condemning the attacks on Charlie Hebdo, in which 12 people, including eight journalists, were murdered.The video description says that it is "a message for al-Qaeda, the Islamic State and other terrorists", and was uploaded to the group's Belgian account.
In the clip, a figure wearing the group's symbolic Guy Fawkes mask is seated in front of a desk with the hashtag #OpCharlieHebdo - which stands for Operation Charlie Hebdo - featured on screen.
The figure, whose voice is obscured says: "We are declaring war against you, the terrorists."
I, for one hope that they follow through on this. I am of the belief that Anonymous owing allegiance to no country is perfect for this task as it can't be pinned on anyone specifically for retaliation.Sorry for just a short diary, but thought this was of interest to the community to get this out there
