India Hosts Hizballah's Websites, TV

20jul06-qudsonline-475.jpgFrom the Ministry of Irony. Remember India? The country that blocks this website and others calling them dangerous. Well apparently if you are a terrorist organization with some rupies you can still host your website there.

Via Aaron at Internet Haganah: The big news today is the return to the internet of the web site of Hizballah's al-Manar TV, still hosted in India. So much for Indian calls for no compromise in the war on terrorism...

Go read the rest because Aaron has complete information on all Hizballah's websites. For our newer readers from India who are able to skirt the ban. Get busy and take action to purge this terrorist website from your nation. Americans use the talent you have and whine and bitch to high heaven. The rest of you, we can use all the help we can get. Oh the Irony is killing me.

Hat Tip : Dr. Rusty Shackleford Via Patrick at Clarity and Resolve.

Update : Several American Companies are also listed as providing various DNS services, mirror and satellite sites run by Hizballah.

Via Dread Pundit Bluto: Hizballah is number 14 on the State Department's current list of Foreign

Terrorist Organizations. I believe that means the US companies hosting
Hizballah websites are in violation of the law, which forbids providing
material resources to FTOs.
