"Saudi dissident shuts down site"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A Saudi exile facing calls for his deportation from Britain has closed parts of his controversial website.
Dr Muhammed al-Massari's site has shown images of suicide bombings in Israel and Iraq in the past, as well as messages from supporters of al-Qaeda.

He said the decision to shut down was his own, but that the site was a victim of the murder of freedom of expression.

The home secretary recently set out the grounds on which those promoting terrorism can be excluded from the UK.

Dr al-Massari, 58, is thought to be one of a number of people being looked at as part of the government's drive to deport those it says glorify or promote terrorism.

Tory homeland security spokesman Patrick Mercer said Dr al-Massari was "a prime candidate for deportation"."

"Saudi exile runs urban warfare website in UK"
DIPESH GADHER AND HALA JABER

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A PROMINENT London-based Saudi dissident, Muhammed al-Massari, is running a website that features a guide to urban warfare for potential terrorists."

ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "“Muhammed al-Massari has been ahead of the curve in what we now call the electronic jihad,” said Rebecca Givner-Forbes, an analyst at the Terrorism Research Center in Virginia, a security consultancy that advises the United States government.

“There are six or seven jihadi websites which are what I call the ‘in crowd’ sites,” she added. “Massari’s site runs a message board that is definitely on that list.”"

ACLU alliance with CAIR....I'd be surprised if there wasn't one!
