5/16/2008: Commentary: How does one track al Qaeda websites:

Asked many times how one tracks al Qaeda websites, the answer is long
hours of research and hunting areas that have no direct link to al
Qaeda. For example take Alneda.com. A very active site when found.

Repeatedly tossed off the Internet, al Qaeda's primary online method
of communication continues to resurface as an uninvited guest on other
websites.

Alneda.com first appeared after the Sept. 11 attacks, hosted by
legitimate Internet service providers in Malaysia and the United
States who promptly evicted the site after being alerted to its
contents and purpose.

Al Neda eventually lost ownership of the Alneda.com domain in August
when Jon David Messner, a hacker who runs porn sites, took it over.
Yes I said PORN sites!!!!

But the website formerly known as Alneda.com is still online. For the
past eight months, it has functioned as a so-called Internet
parasite...a site that is embedded within another website without the
site owner's knowledge.
