[history]
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (May 13) - The al-Qaida-linked Web site that first posted a video of American civilian Nicholas Berg's beheading was shut down Thursday by the Malaysian company that hosted it - because it was drawing too much traffic.
A senior officer of the company, Acme Commerce Sdn. Bhd., said Thursday it was not aware that the site, www.al-ansar.biz, may have been connected to al-Qaida or that offensive material had been posted on it. If it had, the company would likely have shut it down earlier, said Alfred Lim, Acme Commerce's business manager.
"We are a legitimate business, in no way related to al-Qaida," Lim told The Associated Press. "We have no control over what our clients put on their Web sites."

I sure hope someone can get a list of all those who "logged on" to that site since I'm sure there must be a treasure trove of Al-Queda followers who DID log on to see their "success"...follow the trail and then take them out! This war must be executed in non-traditional ways!

Thanks for keeping me informed.
Yep, we have ways of finding out who logged onto that site and I hope the CIA is compiling a list right now.
