MOSCOW, Dec. 12 - Russia's Itar-Tass news agency said on
Sunday its Internet site had been hacked into by ''computer
terrorists'' demanding that Russia halt its military
campaign in Chechnya. ''They called themselves 'princes of
darkness' and 'angels of freedom' and demanded that Russia
stop the war in Chechnya,'' a spokesman for the agency said
by telephone. Tass said the site raiders had sent an e-mail
protesting over the ''murder of peaceful Chechens.'' It
added that the identity of the hackers was unknown and that
it was working to repair the damage.
