Found this on another board: From WRH..Info on the site. AL QAEDA WEBSITE TRACKS BACK TO ... MARYLAND??? 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: ----------

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. |
