Hackers block Qaeda’s 9/11 terror on tape, Al-Ekhlaas website is shut down again, Al-Ekhlaas was also shut down in Tampa on Jan 28th 2008
Hackers block Qaeda’s 9/11 terror on tape Pramit Pal Chaudhuri , Hindustan Times New Delhi, 9/13, 2008; Hackers prevented Al Qaeda from releasing a videotape to mark the 7th anniversary of 9/11 on www.al-ekhlaas.net Al Qaeda has traditionally issued a video or audiotape by either Osama bin Laden or Ayman al Zawahiri, the terror network’s two leaders, to mark their massive terrorist attack on the US. As-Sahab, Al Qaeda’s media unit, had indicated earlier this week that it would post such a videotape on September 11. As-Sahab had banner images on the internet showing a silhouetted head with a question mark and the words, “Wait 11 September”on www.ekhlaas.net . The US-based intelligence group IntelCenter had speculated the video would be a message from Osama or Zawahiri with a recording of the last will and testament of Mohammed Atta, one of the leaders of the 9/11 attackers. Sources close to US intelligence said, “Hackers knocked out Al Qaeda’s online means of communication, thus preventing them from posting anything to commemorate the anniversary.” See Prior Post; Sunday, September 14, 2008, AL-QAEDA TERROR WEBSITE WWW.AL-EKHLAAS.NET THAT POSTED THREAT TO KILL GORDON BROWN AND TONY BLAIR IS SHUT DOWN TODAY. See Prior Post; Sunday, September 07, 2008, PLOT TO KILL UK PM GORDON BROWN WAS INITIATED ON AL-QAEDA WEBSITE HOSTED IN TAMPA FL, FIFTH MUSLIM MAN ARRESTED, THREE CHARGED WITH TERRORISM See Prior Post; Saturday, May 03, 2008, PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR BILL WARNER TRACKS AL-QAEDA WEBSITES TO TAMPA www.ekhlaas.net Western intelligence suspects two hackers who have targeted Islamicist sites before were responsible: Aaron Weisburd from Internet Haganah and Rusty Shackleford from the web group My Pet Jawa. Both have been active in ongoing Internet battle between Islamicist hackers and their opponents. Terrorism expert B Raman says, “I received word two days ago that it was possible the tape would not be released because of hackers.” He noted: “As Sahab is having problems. (Al Qaeda spokesperson) Adam Gadan, in charge of the website, has not been heard of for six months. There are reports he may have been killed in Pakistan.” He expects the tape to be issued three or four days from now. “Or they will send it to Al Jazeera.” This is not the first time hackers have dented the plans of the world’s deadliest terror network. In 2004, a hacker group called TeAmZ USA had knocked out the websites of Abu Musal al-Zarqawi, late head of the Al Qaeda in Iraq, for showing tapes of Westerners being beheaded. The hackers left the image of a gun-toting penguin on the website. Last year’s Al Qaeda anniversary videotape included a eulogy by Bin Laden to 9/11 attacker Waleed al Shehri and his video will — a recording made by suicide bombers before they carry out their missions. Al Qaeda failed to issue an anniversary tape in 2004 as well, leading to speculation Bin Laden had died. Last year, Washington released the anniversary tape two days before Al Qaeda did. Says Raman, “This was probably to deliberately show the US had hacked the password to Al Qaeda’s website.” Bill WArner Private Investigator www.wbipi.com Mark R.
