http://cnn.com/TECH/computing/9809/15/internet.hit.list.ap/index.html Investigators find "assassination" page on the Web hit.list September 15, 1998 Web posted at 4:07 PM ET Portland, Oregon (AP) -- Three Internal Revenue Service agents and a federal magistrate are the targets on what's described as an Internet "assassination" Web page. All four have prices on their heads -- in unusual amounts like 512 dollars and two cents. IRS investigators think it was posted by a patient in a federal mental hospital. The page is thought to be from an essay called "Assassination Politics." That essay -- written by a jailed tax protester -- describes a supposedly risk-free way to reward those who assassinate public officials. Anyone who wants to see someone killed contributes to a fund which -- when large enough -- attracts a killer who predicts the date, time and location for the deed to be done. If it happens, the killer is paid with untraceable digital money. -- pgp 1024/D9C69DF9 1997/10/14 steve mynott <steve@tightrope.demon.co.uk>
