The website of the Al Ittihad newspaper was purportedly hacked by a group claiming affiliation with Daesh.

According to Newsweek, the website went down shortly after the hack and was briefly redirecting to a page that showed three militants dressed in soldiers' attire holding rifles.

The website was branded with two logos regularly used by Daesh, including the black flag, the Newsweek report added.
