    The Web portal Lycos reported that "Al-Jazeera" and
    variant spellings became its top search term last week,
    with three times more searches than "sex."

    Hackers also homed in on Al-Jazeera, bringing down its
    Web site early last week in what the Web host called an
    attack characterized by a flood of bogus traffic.

    Hackers calling themselves the "Freedom Cyber Force
    Militia" later diverted visitors to the English site to
    a page with a U.S. flag.

    The managing editor of Al-Jazeera's English site, Joanne
    Tucker, said it would be back up by Wednesday and that
    steps were being taken to make the Web pages impervious
    to hacking attempts.
