The website for Panama’s legislature has been down for nearly two weeks after being sabotaged by hackers. The website was attacked on January 9th, the same day that former president Manuel Noriega had his extradition appeal turned down by a U.S. court. However, Panamanian officials suspect that another motive is to blame: Pedro Miguel Gonzalez was elected president of Panama's legislature in September, despite being wanted in the United States for the 1992 murder of U.S. Army Sgt. Zac Hernandez.
His candidature was strongly opposed by Washington, which warned the move would hurt relations between the two countries.
Peruvian and Chilean hackers attacked government websites in a pair of incidents last year; tensions continue between both governments over territorial disagreements.
