32 Hackers Held by Turkey



32 "Anonymous" hacker suspects held by Turkey. Nine minors were released 2 days after the arrest.


Turkey's state-run news agency says police have released nine minors out of a group of 32 suspected computer hackers who were detained for alleged links to an international activist group.
The Anatolia news agency said the youngsters were released without charges Tuesday, two days after they were detained for questioning in a sweep against hackers suspected of ties to the group "Anonymous."
"Anonymous" targeted the website of Turkey's telecommunications watchdog last week to protest plans to introduce internet filters in August. The watchdog said it was prepared and disruption was minimal.
The 23 other suspected hackers were still being questioned.
Last week, Spain arrested three alleged "Anonymous" members suspected of attacking worldwide corporate and government websites.
