Internet Attack-Terrorism USA

Submitted by two readers.

Last night on CNN I heard them making a connection between the London
bombings and an “Islamic terrorist” website called alneda.com. I tried to
view the website but it’s been taken offline. I did find the following three
year old reference to alneda.com on CNN:

From: http://archives.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/meast/06/24/binladen.video/

"These statements and others from al Qaeda have been appearing from time to
time on a Web site called www.alneda.com.

"In recent months, the site, which experts suspect is closely linked to al
Qaeda, also has posted manifestos signed "al Qaeda jihad" in which it says
bin Laden is alive and well and preparing future attacks against the United
States.


Interesting "link" to al-Qaeda, as revealed by whois data for alneda.com:

Jon David, a fine Islamic sounding name, no doubt named after a martyr or
prophet or some such. Located in that hotbed of terrorism, Berlin, Maryland
USA.
 
I ran a traceroute to the web address. I’ve left off the first ten hops to
obscure the source of my trace, to protect my privacy. But as you can see
the trace ends up at broadwing.net:

Thewetlands.com is a Porn site. Kind of a strange place for an Islamic
fundamentalist to choose to host a jihadi website.

According the CNN June 25, 2002 web ariticle (URL listed above):
 
“The site reappeared in early June and this time CNN traced it to a
Web-hosting company in Texas. As CNN went to air with another story on it
last Monday, alneda.com once again disappeared from the Web.
 
----------

However, as the above traceroute shows, the DNS for alneda.com still points
web queries to broadwing.net, in Austin, TX.

Interesting how the U.S. corporate medium absolutely fails to point out that
this “terrorist” webiste is hosted in Texas.

Also interesting is CNN’s suggestion is 2002 that alneda.com had “once again
disappeared from the Web”. It appears it’s where it has always been. These
people never hear of investigative journalism? What I want to know is: who
the hell is Jon David, and why is he maintaining a “terrorist” website in
Texas?

Maybe we should notify the Berlin, MD police of the “terrorist” in their
midst. Or der Homeland Security? It also might be fun to contact Broadwing
and the domain name registrars and ask them what they’re doing associating
with terrorists? Weird how Muslim charities have been targeted since 911,
but somehow this “terrorist” alneda.com has managed to reside in Texas for
three years.

  • Oh, dude tracert doesn’t give you all the answers. And guess what it is also possible to host webpages without being registered with any domain name service.
    The community - IT-people - have far more advanced methods to track down webresources.
    So get an education and don’t bore the sh.t out of us.

    You are proof how lousy American education has mutated since 1970.

      So why don’t you do that then, genius- or stop boring us?
