Bell?s Web site hacked

A Turkish flag. That?s what potential voters saw Monday when they clicked on several pages of Clarence Bell?s Web site. But he?s not Turkish and the artwork wasn?t his idea, said the Republican candidate for Baltimore County executive. It?s the trademark of an Internet hacker.

“I regret this type of mean-spirited attack that has been made upon my Web site,” Bell said in a statement that appeared later on the site. “I have asked the Baltimore County police to conduct an investigation and prosecute those responsible.”
