Hackers Declare War on Scientology

A shadowy Internet group has succeeded in taking down a Scientology Web site after effectively declaring war on the church and calling for it to be destroyed.

The group, which goes by the name of Anonymous, is a disparate collection of hackers and activists.

It called for a wave of attacks against Scientology after accusing the church of "campaigns of misinformation" and "suppression of dissent."

At least one Scientology Web site was still down Friday morning.
