All of the 33,000 ‘surge’ troops ordered to Afghanistan in 2009 have left the country, leaving US troop levels as they were before the surge. The hacker group “Cyber fighters of Izz ad-din Al qassam” claimed to have mounted cyberattacks against the websites of the Bank of America, the New York Stock Exchange, and Chase Bank, in retaliation for the “Innocence of Muslims” movie. The group claimed the attacks would continue until the film is removed from the Internet.
