Hizbollah Says Web Sites Shut by U.S., British Hosts

Thu Aug 12, 2004 06:07 AM ET

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Two Hizbollah Internet sites have been shut down in recent days by hosts in the United States and Britain, which both accuse the Lebanese guerrilla group of "terrorist" activities, Hizbollah said on Thursday.

"These are legal measures American and British firms are taking against our sites," a Hizbollah official responsible for the group's Internet sites told Reuters.

"Our hosts closed them down because of accusations related to terrorism."

He did not give the name of the hosts and it was not possible to independently verify who had closed down the sites.

He said Hizbollah, which Washington blames for 1983 attacks against the U.S. marine barracks and embassy that killed scores of people, was looking for new hosts and hoped to have www.hizbullah.org and www.hizbullah.tv back online within days.

"These sorts of legal measures have been happening for a while now. Every so often our sites get closed. This time it was two sites at once," he said.

Web hosting companies put Web Sites onto the Internet via a web server.

Washington lists Hizbollah as a "terrorist" organization, while Britain has included the group's External Security Organization on its list of foreign terrorist organizations. Syrian and Iranian-backed Hizbollah is a staunch backer of the Palestinian uprising

Note in the above article that Reuters actually used the word "terrorist" several times.

After 9/11 there was a rumor on the internet that the management of the Reuters news agency had required that reporters not use of the word "terrorists" to describe those who pulled off the terrorist attacks on America. The rumor is true. However, "al-Reuters" is using the word "terrorist" with double quotes which makes it OK.  "Al-Reuters" comes off

The Jewish Community Center, Buenos Aires, 1994.  Just one of Hizbullah's many attacks on innocent people.

very much like "Dr. Evil" in the Austin Powers movies who would often quote with a two fingered gesture as part of his comedic routine.

Today, Aug. 12, 2004, both http://www.hizbollah.tv/ and http://www.hizbollah.org/come up blank, except for an ad for 'register.com' at the bottom.

Viewing the HTML source, it looks like they're trying to load content from http://www.ilakat.org/ which doesn't seem to respond.

However, it doesn't look as if Register.com has booted Hizbullah, http://www.moqawama.tv/ at  216.21.229.196 is UP. Hezbullah is continuing to get content from ServePath, San Francisco.  When Ilakat.org is restored, the Register.com sites will again become active.

Hizbullah, San Francisco

Almost a dozen of Hizbullah's propaganda sites operate out of ServePath in San Francisco.

Children are the future jehadis. They are being "targeted" by a specialforce.net, a video game "inspired by actual Hizbullah operations in the South" (Israel).  It also contains a training simulation where players can practice their shooting skills on "targets" such as Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and other leading Israelis..

Hizbullah also operates it's own "Human Rights" organizations, qana.net, with which they expose Jewish "mass murder and terrorism" from 1948 to today.  Khiamwatch.net exposes Jewish "attrocities" at the Khiam detention camp in Lebanon (now a "tourist stop" for Iranians vacationing in Lebanon.  ).

Hizbullah's radio, alnour.net, is mirrored in Baltimore.

Hizbullah's monthly magazine, baqiatollah.org, is also in San Francisco.

Along with terror operations, Hizbullah operates several charities such as jihadbinaa.org and aljarha.org:

Fundraising: Hezbollah cells are frequently involved in fundraising activities, even if they are primarily operational cells. Hezbollah cells raise funds through charities acting as front organizations as well as via criminal activity like cigarette smuggling, drug production and smuggling, and credit card or other types of fraud. Hezbollah networks organize regular parlor meetings held in members' homes where a collection basket is passed around after watching Hezbollah propaganda videos, usually produced by al-Manar, the group's satellite television network. For example, the Charlotte, North Carolina, network gathered on a regular basis to watch videos of live Hezbollah bombings in southern Lebanon before the Israeli withdrawal then collected donations to support such activities. Hezbollah operates front companies, and in South America the group is renown for pirating multimedia and engaging in Mafia-style shakedowns of local Muslim businesses .  ( Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center ).

If they are so anti-american, protest us. Get off our internet. The internet is a product of this great nation and our gift to the world.

You can't be against America and on our internet at the same time.

Hey Jihadist: You *really* want to protest the USA ? ? Log off.

[HipShot]

Alabanza is providing DNS for a lot of these goblins through ns3.hostsvr.com and ns4.hostsvr.com.

It'd be a shame if they were to fall down.

Effin' dim-o-Rats!

LOL, I must have had a senior moment. I should have been able to figure that out all by myself.

[JohnathanRGalt]

So, physically the website jihadbinaa.org is located at 69.59.157.92 -- which traces to ServePath. The DNS nameserver for this site (and several other Hezbullah sites) is hostsvr.com -- which traces to Alabanza. Shows the sites may be related.

[HipShot]

Yup. Some of the previously fallen sites have maintained registration, but lost DNS.

These DNS servers are more than they appear to be, BTW.
