Terrorist Web Site Taken Down

Via WHIR News.

A Web site hosted out of a server in Minnesota was taken down last week after authorities discovered it showed users how to attack US military bases.

According to reports, the Web site Ekhlass.cc was operating for months on a server in Rochester, Minnesota and was registered to an address in Van Nuys, California. A whois search Monday provided no registration information for the domain.

Yigal Carmon, president of the Middle East Media Research Institute, a group that monitors terrorist Web sites, says that the site communicated messages from one of the most active groups on the Internet trying to recruit terrorists in the US. The Web site reportedly showed diagrams and prompted discussions on how to attack US military bases on US soil and offered tips on where to put explosives and where to target on certain buildings.

Ah, security through obscurity. I'm sure that since the website was removed, so was the threat of attack...
