US Defense Contractor source of Hezbollah Messages?

<!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://cnw.com/~jasonst/hejailanprojects.html">cnw.com/~jasonst/hejailanprojects.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Hezbollah website hosted by a US defense subcontractor? (Hejailan Projects / United Defense Industries, Inc. / BAE Systems Land and Armaments) <br><br>After many months of me complaining about how often the mainstream media was citing unspecified "internet postings" as sources for their stories, I was reading an article in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that finally sourced a claim. They credited an organization that tracks terrorist activities and internet postings. As suspected, it didn't take much digging to find propaganda. <br><br>The "SITE Instititute" <br><br>The Search for International Terrorist Entities Institute (The "SITE Instititute"), seems to be chronocling most of the terrorist activity you hear about in the news, and appears to be the source for much of the reporting on terrorist activities provided to the mainstream media. <br><br>One of the pages hosted on the SITE Institute website, provides a list of "Terrorist Websites". <br><br>One of six websites listed is for Hizballah (Party of God) <br><br>SITE lists their website as: <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.nasrollah.org/">www.nasrollah.org/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <br><br>You can check it out if you like, (though i wouldn't recommend it), but it looks pretty legitimate... <br><br>...until I started digging around into who's hosting it. <br><br>According to the domain registration record, nasrollah.org is registered to a "Hussein Beydoun", who resides at a Beirut (Lebanon) address. Looks pretty legitimate, but things get fishy when you look at the IP address of their web server. <br><br>www.nasrollah.org resolves to 82.205.138.35 <br><br>The RIPE registration record for that IP address says it belongs to a "Horizon Communication", out of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The registration record goes on to list "Karthikeyan K" at an address of "Hejailan Projects" <br><br>Thinking that was a rather strange address, I searched for information on who "Hejailan Projects" is... I found them listed on a directory of Defense / Aerospace contractors. <br><br>Al-Hejailan Projects Co., Ltd. <br>DESCRIPTION: Al-Hejailan Projects Engineering Co. is a Saudi engineering firm known to be involved in maintenance and upgrading of vehicles belonging to the Royal Saudi Land Forces Infantry Corps. <br><br>CHRONOLOGY <br>* 1993. FMC-Arabia Ltd. is established as a joint venture between United Defense Industries, Inc. (Arlington, VA) and the Al-Hejailan Group (Saudi Arabia). The company is 51% owned by United Defense. <br><br>* April 2003. Al-Hejailan Group acquires the 51% stake in United Defense Systems-Arabia owned by United Defense Industries, Inc. (NYSE: UDI) for approximately $0.4 million. <br><br><br>Wikipedia says, "United Defense Industries was a United States defense contractor which is now part of BAE Systems Land and Armaments. This company produces combat vehicles, artillery, naval guns, missile launchers and precision munitions. The company started as a division of the agricultural machine business, Food Machinery Corporation (FMC), when they won a US government contract to build LVTs and became a weapon manufacturer during World War II." <br><br><br>.... Why is a US defense contractor hosting a known terrorist website? <br><br><br><br><br><br>Here is the evidence showing United Defense's Al-Hejailan Projects Co. hosting the Hizballah website. <br><br><br><br>> whois nasrollah.org <br>Domain ID<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> 46574899-LRMS <br>Domain Name:NASROLLAH.ORG <br>Created On:08-Dec-2000 21:08:25 UTC <br>Last Updated On:13-Mar-2006 08:33:15 UTC <br>Expiration Date:08-Dec-2007 21:08:25 UTC <br>Sponsoring Registrar:Register.com Inc.

Potentially interesting.

What a treasure trove. More proof that defence and security is less a government/nation thing, more a private affair. <br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>on edit: improper usage of "whence"</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Corrected.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=gouda@rigorousintuition>Gouda</A> at: 7/18/06 9:31 am<br></i>

I mean, it doesn't take much to host a site and while United may have a controling share, I doubt they can always tell the Saudis what to do.
