HARTFORD, Conn.


Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman, who was locked in a battle with a political
novice fueled by anti-war sentiment in the nation's most closely watched
primary race Tuesday, accused his challenger's supporters of hacking his
campaign Web site and e-mail system. 

Lieberman campaign manager Sean Smith said the campaign has contacted the
Connecticut attorney general's office and asked for a criminal investigation
by state and federal authorities. 

"If Ned Lamont has a backbone in his body, he will call on these people to
cease and desist," Smith said. 

Lamont, campaigning early Tuesday afternoon in Bridgeport, said he knew
nothing about the accusations. "It's just another scurrilous charge," he
said. 

A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office declined immediate comment. Calls
placed to the FBI and the chief state's attorney's office seeking comment
were not immediately returned. 

Smith said the site began having problems Monday night and crashed for good
at 7 a.m. 

"Voters cannot go to our Web site. They cannot access information," Smith
said. "It is a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise voters.
