It is often difficult to separate the fact from the fiction, rumors,
supposition, and unsubstantiated allegations that fly around the net when
big news breaks. This is what HNN has been able to verify so far.
Yesterday morning at aprox 6:00 am CST the FBI executed nine search
warrants in Houston, Seattle and various California locations. HNN
believes that some of those who where raided where iCBM, MostHated,
loophole, Spaceg0at, soulblazer, fryz, vallah and Cl0pz. HNN has not
learned of any arrests that have been made. While the FBI has not
revealed why the search warrants were executed it is believed to have
some relation to the recent crack of whitehouse.gov. HNN has received no
confirmation of Most Wanted lists or FBI Directives, rumors of which have
been floating around the net.

In response to the recent raids several other members of gH (Global Hell)
as well as other groups such as Team spl0it have attacked numerous web
sites, (estimates range from between 40 and 100). The FBI has admitted
to receiving a major Denial of Service attack, and the US Senate web site
was defaced for a few minutes. In an interview with MSNBC MostHated said
"The retaliation has to stop." HNN received an email from "Israeli
Ghost" claiming responsibility for the FBI DoS attack. HNN was also able
to snag the US Senate web page defacement before it was restored.

biographical piece on Zyklon. The story has quotes from his classmates
and parents.
