  London, UK - 17 March 2003, 08:30 GMT - The American 
    Academy of Diplomacy was hacked yesterday at 18:15 GMT while the US, UK 
    and Spanish leaders met at the Azores summit. It still remains vandalised 
    at the time of this alert 14 hours later. US Secretary of State Colin Powell 
    had received the Walter and Leonore Annenberg Award for Excellence in Diplomacy 
    from the Academy on 11th December 2002. The message plastered by the hacker 
    group RSF "Rooting Sabotage Forced" at the Academy's website was 
    the phrase "NO WAR" repeated over 30 times. Other messages left 
    behind over the weekend have been protests about the way the US and UK are 
    handling the Israel-Palestine situation.
