[Reader-list] indymedia servers raided by FBI

[Pankaj Kaushal]

Yesterday at about 18:00 CET FBI raided the indymedia servers hosted by 
Rackspace both in US and England. The reasons why the hard drives were 
taken are still unknown.

Since the subpoena was issued to Rackspace and not to Indymedia, the 
reasons for this action are still unknown to Indymedia. Talking to 
Indymedia volunteers, Rackspace stated that "they cannot provide 
Indymedia with any information regarding the order." ISPs have received 
gag orders in similar situations which prevent them from updating the 
concerned parties on what is happening.
