News:Wikileaks 'hacked ahead of secret US document release'

28 November 2010
Whistle-blowing website Wikileaks says it is under attack from a computer-hacking operation, ahead of a release of secret US documents.

"We are currently under a mass distributed denial of service attack," it says on its Twitter feed.

It adds that several newspapers will go ahead and publish the documents released to them by Wikileaks even if the site goes down.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has said the US authorities are afraid of being held to account.
