Mohagher Iqbal, a senior MILF leader, earlier said their website, whose URL http://www.luwaran.com , was hacked by a still unidentified group. "Our website was hacked by the enemy," he said without further elaborating. The website was off line since Friday and its mirror site http://www.luwaran.net has been redirected Saturday to a forum on this URL http://forums.luwaran.net. Television giant GMA 7 reported that the MILF website had several photos of pigs, animals considered unclean by Muslims. Links to news articles in the MILF website also led to defaced pages featuring pigs. "I love pigs," "i love pigs :D," "Prite bac Prite" and "digdigdig," the headlines read. Those behind the defacing did not leave signs of their identity, GMANews.TV reported. It also quoted reports by radio network dzBB as saying that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) denied involvement in the hacking of the MILF website.
