A recently disclosed list of companies providing service to Hezbollah websites exposed something shocking – 22 out of 25 primary sites for the Lebanese terror group are hosted by U.S. companies.

Internet Haganah, an organization that works to uncover and shut down websites affiliated with the global jihad, says it has been tracking and monitoring 25 major Hezbollah sites and found that, aside from two established in Iran and one in the UK, the rest of the Hezbollah sites are hosted by American companies. Israeli security sources confirmed the organization's findings.

Seventeen Hezbollah sites, including Nasrollah.net, a Hezbollah site coordinated with Iran, and Aljarha.org, which raises money for the terror group, have obtained their domain names from Bulkregister LLC, a Baltimore company, says Haganah. Domain names are maintained by registrar companies, usually for yearly fees, to lease site names and ensure domains remains available. Other Hezbollah domains registered through Bulkregister include Al-nour.net, Alrassoul.org, Naimkassem.org, Hayaa.org, and Moqawama.net.

OnlineNic in Chicago registers three Hezbollah sites including Wilayah.com, which specializes in religious indoctrination; two Hezbollah sites, Nasrollah.org and Moqawama.tv signed for domains through Register.com in New York; and eNom of Bellvue, Washington, provides domains for Hezbollah's Al Manar TV sites, which were recently banned in the U.S.

Most Hezbollah websites are also hosted by American companies. Hosting companies provide space on webservers for the actual site content. Alabanza, Inc. in Baltimore hosts three Hezbollah sites, including the Hezbollah news site Intiqad.com. iPowerWeb, Inc. of Santa Monica, California, hosts Nasrollah.net, Naimkassem.org, Moqawama.tv.

According to Haganah, other U.S. companies that host Hezbollah sites include CIHost of Bedford, Texas; FastServers of Cedar Falls, Iowa; and ITX via DataPipe in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Internet service providers often host hundreds of thousands of websites and are not aware

Then Internet Haganah should shut them down.

They most likely are and idiots keep harping about where they are thus probably screwing up the intel collection.

Kind of like when they were listening in on OBL's cell phone unitl some jackass revealed it to the press.

I think there's a very good chance these Web hosting companies are fronts for the CIA. What better way to get a look at the logs of visitors' IP addresses?
