Before the war in Iraq- before all the media pundits were screaming Iraq can't possibly work with al qaeda because Iraq is secular and al qaeda is Islamist I found the site while looking for screeds by Saddam Hussein. At the time that was pretty much all the site contained. When the no-connection mantro became shrill it was a simple matter to visit the site and pick up a fuming, roiling vile little speech of Hussein's and post that puppy for people to see that he was very much aiming to please Islamist ears with his prose, filled as it was with quotes for the Quran, repetitive pleas to Allah & and piece-be-upon-Muhammeds, and other verbal imagery from radical Islamist wet dreams, etc.

I don't think Uruknet was operating out of Italy then - I seem to remember it being operated out of a server in Richardson Texas linked to some of the terror charity web sites, Hamas and so on. I may be wrong there but it was connected tosome other questionable group in the US.

Now that it's in Italy it's probably managed by the Anti-Imperialista Camp folks- same wingnuts associated with the french 'priest' Father Benjamin of Oil-for_food fame, who claimed according to Zenit to have foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks.
