The Web site of Belgium's Defense Ministry remained off line on Monday
after it was hacked over the weekend by a group defending Turkish
nationalist views.

"In terms of image, this is not very good," said Defense Minister Andre
Flahaut. The ministry was beefing up its web firewall and testing its
resistance to hackers on Monday before opening up the site again to the
public.

The ministry lodged a complaint with the prosecutor's office, after a group
calling itself the "Turk Forcers" posted a text in English on the site
defending World War I-era actions against Armenians in Turkey and against
Kurds afterward, said defense spokeswoman Ingrid Baeck.
