“Anonymous” Hackers Crash Sites of Tear-Gas Maker, Bahrain Gov’t 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------



The hacking group "Anonymous" claims to have shut down the websites of
the Bahraini government as well as the U.S.-based tear gas manufacturer,
Combined Systems, which has sold tear gas to the Bahraini and Egyptian
governments. Bahrain is a close U.S. ally and the home of the Navy's
Fifth Fleet.
