FBI Targets Alleged WikiLeaks Supporters in Cyberattack Case 
-------------------------------------------------------------



The FBI says it has carried out more than 40 search warrants as part of
a probe into cyberattacks waged in support of the whistleblowing website
Wiki Leaks. Last month, computer hackers targeted the websites of
companies and others who acted against Wiki Leaks after the U.S.
government called for choking off Wiki Leaks' online donations. Five
people have also been arrested in the United Kingdom in a related probe.
