BEIRUT - A Palestinian militant group accused American and Israeli
groups Saturday of hacking into its Web site and destroying it.
 
Islamic Jihad, which has carried out suicide bombings in Israel, said
the unidentified groups had destroyed the site to silence "the
Palestinian voice."

In a statement faxed to The Associated Press in Beirut, the group
said: "In an attempt aimed at silencing the Palestinian voice - which
speaks for the resistance and defends the Palestinian people's right -
hostile and malevolent Zionist and American quarters have struck the
official Web site of Al Quds Brigades, the military wing of the
Islamic Jihad movement."

The statement said it was trying to restore the Web site. It said this
was not the first time its site had been attacked by unidentified
"Zionist and American quarters."

Islamic Jihad and the Palestinian group Hamas have been responsible
for most of the suicide bombings in Israel. The two groups are on the
U.S. State Department list of terrorist organizations.
