Anyone have any idea what these recent posts to the IslamicGlobalNews Yahoo! group might mean?

The posts are just a single short hexadecimal string and signed as follows:
OBLCrew - Osama Bin Laden's Crew!

I was going to check on OBLCrew this week, but ran out of time -- so far. Irhabi007 has been diddling with numbers somewhat recently.
Let me get the article.
It looks like it breaks down into two groupings of 4 bytes each. Like so...

The second byte looks to be counting up. At first I thought maybe it was counting up each day, but that doesn't work. Although, the first and second bytes are the same in each group that are posted on the same day.
The last two bytes in each group are a bit of a mystery, although it looks like there also a pattern of counting up in the last byte.
These don't seem to translate to any meaningful ASCII characters, nor do they fit any Unicode charcters that I could find. It's very puzzling.
BTW, every watch the movie "Pi"? That's how I feel right now...looking for a pattern in the numbers... :)
I know nothing about computer programming/writing, but my first thought was "Credit card numbers", this was once a big deal on the internet and about a year ago the Feds broke it up, there was a thread on the breakup, here, but I have no idea of the name.
Starting with the last number, it pulls a big return at Google, including nuclear, motels, computer programming, etc.

Strange, this number pulls the same links, note the top one says out on Friday, there are several chemical sites & eBay.

This is the 3rd from the bottom and pulls the same links as the other two.

The first number pulls the same pages, I went in a couple pages and got the mice link below.

This is a link to a lab for mice strains and DNA, I think.
