Sex Trafficking in Spain Linked to Prostitution Ads
By Dana Kennedy - AOL News(July 22) -- A week after Spain's prime minister angered many of the country's newspaper publishers by calling for a ban on lucrative prostitution ads, one of the few national dailies that refuse to take such ads has launched a three-day front-page investigation linking the ads to sex traffickers. The publication 20 Minutos took on other newspapers in Spain, where prostitution is legal, in a series that began Wednesday and exposes the big business behind the ads. One ad highlighted in the investigation shows the silhouette of a woman and the words "Sex Slave. Literally." At stake is the ...

Mischievous Hackers Go After World Leaders
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(Jan. 5) -- The Web sites of two world leaders were taken down in the past day for two surprising reasons: Mr. Bean and Michael Jackson. Late Monday night, someone slapped a message on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's official site that pleaded to God for the leader's death in 2010, strangely mixing celebrity references with cold threats. "Dear God," the statement read, "In 2009 you took my favorite singer – Michael Jackson, my favorite actress – Farrah Fawcett, my favorite actor – Patrick Swayze, my favorite voice – Neda," a reference to the first name of a ...
