Their problem was posted yesterday on threat matrix as follows: "Hey guys, havnt posted in a while... I dunno if any of you were members at the IH board, but John, the owner, said OBLCREW and others wanted al-neda.net, al-queda.org, and all the other names he stole from them back BAD. It was also rumored that a way to signal for an attack would be that the main Insurgent web site, Al-Neda, would be back up....
Aparently, it looks as if the jihadis HAVE indeed taken ItsHappening down, and it will only be a matter of time for Al-Neda to come back online."
Call me crazy, but i do the timing of this, right around the jan 30th Iraqi elections, is playing a role in Osamas next move.

I don't venture over there but I think the poster asked a legit question here???? Not sure.
Thank you.
Internet Haganah has become so large that Weisburd has recruited co-workers to help him in his daily tracking of terrorist websites, but none of them allow their identities to be revealed. Similarly, the most high-profile Qaeda-web analysts at sites like TimeBomb2000.com, 7-Seas.net or ItsHappening.com remain anonymous under handles like Patriot, CaseyB and, of course, Al Qaeda Hunter.
One of the few non-aliased jihad trackers at ItsHappening.com is Jon Messner, the sites founder. Unfortunately, the outspoken Messner has been silenced, although not by his fundamentalist enemies; a progressive illness now prevents him from conducting interviews. Messner, a former online porno king who turned his attention to the global war on jihad after 9/11, is most famous in Qaeda-tracking circles as the man who shut down AlNeda.com, at the time considered the de facto official website of bin Ladens inner circle. (Messner hacked AlNeda to redirect visitors to the FBIs Most Wanted page.) The high-profile action got the immediate attention of Al Qaeda operatives, a few of whom are now regular posters to ItsHappenings message board. In fact, when Al Qaeda replaced AlNeda.com with a new site, they announced it on Messners forum.

Snakeyes,
You've been a good sport.
Why don't you come on over to the TM thread and we'll coffee talk?
