BEIJING, April 25 (Xinhuanet) -- The White House has rubbished tweets claiming that President Barack Obama had been injured in two attacks on the White House.

The tweets were posted on the Twitter accounts of the Associated Press after hackers took control of it. The attacks on AP’s Twitter account and the AP Mobile Twitter account were preceded by phishing attempts on AP’s Corporate network.

The AP suspended its Twitter account after the hack and said it was working to correct the issue. The New York Times reported a group calling itself the Syrian Electronic Army, which is supportive of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, had claimed responsibility.

Member of Syrian electronic army said, "Our actions aim to protest against the Western media’s reports on the Syrian opposition. Their deceptive reports have hurt Syria and the people. "
