‘Anonymous’ threatens cyber attack if city interferes with Occupy Toronto

The Canadian Press

The hacker group Anonymous is standing up for Toronto's Occupy movement.

In a video released on YouTube, the group threatens to launch a cyber attack on the city if officials interfere with the month-long demonstration.

The video says Toronto will be “removed from the Internet” unless the city promises to leave the protesters alone.

Mayor Rob Ford has asked the occupiers to dismantle their tent city in St. James Park.

A few protesters tried to set up a new base in the park behind the Ontario legislature this weekend, but their efforts cut short.

Police shut down the fledgling camp Saturday night and brought the demonstrators back to the original site.
