Terror Turns Real for Horror Site

Matt Rexer admits that he was hoping to raise a little hell on his website.

But the sudden appearance this week of a message purporting to be from Osama bin Laden, head of the al-Qaida terrorist network, on Rexer's Clive Barker fan site truly spooked the horror film fan.

Jehadi website ping: (let me know if you want on or off)

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for your hard work here and for pinging us to keep us aware of what is happening in the web wars.

[swarthyguy]

Thanks. What's your take on the FBI counterterror cyber analyst murdered in VA?

I think it was a targeted kill. Could the jihadis have found her name from the work she was doing?

[nicmarlo]

I think it was a targeted kill.

I concur.

Is another site that was hacked and is still online.

You are right -- Al-Neda is back. It must be very important for Al-Qaeda for them to keep resurecting this site!

First she would have to be known as a person who is targeting the jehadis. I did a Google search for Linda Franklin but couldn't find anything about her prior to her murder. Maybe I'm just not useing the right keywords. Perhaps she published or presented at conferences concerning cyberterrorism.

Secondly, they would have to know her face -- and where she lived and her habits to stalk her.

They are certainly capable of making death threats (I've gotten several) and carrying them out. Also, as I have pointed out, many of the Palestinians happen to be expert snipers

There is a link on that Al-Neda site to a jammal.zip, when I did a search for jamal.zip on google I found this site that has eBooks, Audio, and Video from Islamic groups http://shia.mine.nu/

They have this:

I got bored listening to that speech and turned it off

[Cindy]

Any messages posted on my web site discussion forum and/or sent to me via e-mail that smacks of terrorist activities; they have been sent pronto and intact to my local FBI. Period.

Infidels cannot listen to an Islamist diatribe for very long. Even if it is in English -- No more than an non-Christian could listen to or understand a New Testament study or a non-Jew could listen to a recitation of the Talmud.

Once you are converted, however, every word is like magic and it deeply touches you.

What is important here, in my opinion, is that the diatribe is originating from Texas. We are seeing a lot of jehadi connections to Texas

Interesting -- another Swedish Islamist terrorist site at telia.com -- TELIA is the the current host of HAMAS. If you can find 'actionable content' at http://shia.mine.nu, let us all know!

Sheesh! That's a store front, five miles from where I'm sitting!

CI Host is run by a couple of 22 year old kids who founded the ASP in 1999 as a backup for Y2K. They snagged a couple of big accounts and were off to the races.

They had two long outages in 2001 and dropped some accounts, but seem to have straightened out their problems.

So now they're hosting al-Qaeda, huh?

Stop by on Monday when they open up. Let us know what what they think of the Jehadis.

[sinkspur]

I'd love to. Could you pass along the particulars? Are they hosting the audio from the post above? Just what, exactly, are they hosting?

[JohnathanRGalt]

Seems to be a bit more than just audio. Also, check out: http://www.almodarresi.com/, IP-address = 63.249.218.117 which is also in the block of CIHS.

I'm looking back in my records for 'Actionable content' -- such as EV1.NET in Houston hosts several terrorist groups ( Al-Qassam Martyrs Brigade http://www.kataeb-ezzeldeen.com ) -- but don't find anything. Need to do more research. Nice to know you are so close to CIHS.

Just because a site is in Arabic doesn't mean they are necessarily terrorist.
