First they ransacked parliament, sending the country's lawmakers fleeing for safety. Now, Iraqi protesters have taken their fight against government corruption online, hacking the parliament's website.

Pictures of three Iraqis who are said to have died in recent protests were displayed Wednesday afternoon on the legislature's official site, which usually runs parliament news and statements from politicians. "Revenge for the martyrs of the peaceful demonstrations," it read. "Idiots are leading the country."
