| Two Bulgarian hackers have been arrested for sending bluff messages on people's mobile phones, "urging" them to carry out attacks on public buildings in the capital Sofia, the interior ministry said in a statement. The two men sent messages from an Internet site, asking people on behalf of the Al Qaeda terror network to blow up some of the largest public buildings in downtown Sofia in return for $US10,000. The messages threatened their recipients with death if they refused to carry out the tasks. Two Bulgarians, aged 27 and 29, were arrested after recipients of the messages informed the police. Police said questioning of the men showed they were not terrorists but were playing what they thought was a practical joke. |
