Baghdad: The official website of Iraq's top Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali Al Sistani has been hacked, according to a statement from his office.
The hacked site Sistani.org contains a statement that accuses the cleric of issuing depraved edicts.
It lists a contact e-mail that includes the words Tora Bora, an apparent reference to the Al Qaida hideout used by Osama Bin Laden.
Al Sistani's aide said his office can open a new site if necessary.
