Welcome to Palestine Today, a service of the International Middle East Media Center, www.imemc.org, for Wednesday, April 29th, 2009.

Our Facebook page was shut down and the group page hacked by Hossam Eid.

If anyone receives any silly messages from someone called Hossam Eid on the Stop Camden Animal Lab Facebook page [a fake admin called Hossam Eid] please ignore them & report the hacker. This is the latest in the saga surrounding this campaign by people trying to disrupt it. In a way I'm flattered that people are going to so much trouble. Thank you Hossam for your attention. Meanwhile "pig flu has taken over the world" and this shows why the lab is a mistake.
