What happened to Al-Jazeera.com?

Got spare money?

Hey, does anybody know what happened to Al-Jazeera's website?

It just isn't there anymore!

They were there a little less than a week ago, and now they're gone.

Not that I'm much of a conspiracy theorist, but could it be that the US military is somehow involved?

I mean, they were showing a good number of pictures of Iraqis dead and dying from the US bombings as well as the devestation in Baghdad. Plus the US military was pretty pissed off about them showing the tape of the Iraqi soldiers.

If they're computers are just down, or if they moved, alright, but I'm curious.

They showed some pics of US troops captured and executed. They were annoying to a group to a point where they decided to take it off the air and/or deface it.

More likely to be an independent group or even individual, since they have more experience and resources to achieve such an action.

The US military left the Iraqi internet up... every bit goes through two satellite downlinks in the UK and US. If the US were engaged in a cyber war, then these conduits would be the first to be cut.

Actually, I already tried www.aljazeera.net... doesn't work. I tried www.al-jazeera.com, which is the one I was using for several days before it vanished, and I tried www.aljazeera.com... no luck either. It's just gone.

Here's a good rundown on things. It appears that the hackers first took the site out. Then Network Solutions (presumably by request of DoD), switched the DNS info.

Holy crap!!!

Al-jazeera has an english website too?! And here I was trying to find some kind of link to an english translation on their main page!

Well, I guess this proves one thing... hacking doesn't necessarily require intelligence.

Bad form BD. Very bad form. Just because they are saying things you don't like you are now saying they don't have the rights to say them. You should realise this cuts both ways.
