Hacker group Anonymous have released a video and a statement via Twitter condemning the attacks on Charlie Hebdo, in which 12 people, including eight journalists, were murdered.

The video description says that it is "a message for al-Qaeda, the Islamic State and other terrorists", and was uploaded to the group's Belgian account.

1. I wish them luck

I wonder why, with all the resources and money our Security Complex has, this hasn't been done.
One would think it more prudent than looking at my email?

3. It makes you think

Our CIA/NSA experts have hacked so many other sites, you'd think they could shut down the terrorist sites -- if, of course, they wanted to. Makes you think.
