Al-Qaeda’s main Web forums have been offline for the past 11 days in what experts say is the longest sustained outage of the sites since they began operating eight years ago.
No one has publicly claimed responsibility for disabling the sites, but the breadth and the duration of the outages have prompted some experts to conclude the forums have been taken down in a cyberattack — launched perhaps by a government, government-backed organization or hacking group.
The first Web site, Shumukh al-Islam, a primary source for al-Qaeda videos and messages, went down on March 22, and since then four others have gone dark. The administrator of a second-tier al-Qaeda site recently posted a message on an online forum saying that “the media arena is witnessing a vicious attack by the cross and its helpers on the jihadi media castles.”
Officials in the United States and elsewhere have long been concerned by sites associated with al-Qaeda. Those sites have been used to call for violence against Western targets and to try to recruit Islamic extremists to carry out attacks.

It is highly possible that the French government forced the Internet Service Providers who host these two terrorist forums to shut them down due to the connection of the dead terrorist to them and/or because these two terrorist forums have a lot of members who are living in France and may be conspiring to launch more terrorist attacks.
Maybe they’re observing Earth Hour. However, since Mohammed didn’t wear a watch they are not allowed to use one. So, they wing it for a while until they think it’s safe to come out. /sarc
Very interesting. Maybe they are all on a bus to Sanford. LOL!
They’re already there, disguised as the “New Black Pampers”.
