Wikileaks changes web address

Whistle-blowing website Wikileaks has been forced to change its web address after the company providing its domain name cut off service.



Every DNS.net says it had terminated services because Wikileaks.org had come under massive cyber attacks.



However, Wikileaks has already reappeared using a Swiss web address.



Wikileaks says its website has been under attack since it began publishing more than 250,000 classified US diplomatic cables.



The memos, which discuss US diplomatic relations and military activities, have been causing controversy across the world.



Wikileaks had turned to the online store Amazon to host its site but the company ended the agreement on Wednesday, a move welcomed by US officials.



However, amazon says it had not removed Wikileaks because of a government inquiry.
