'Beheading' website shut down
The Internet site that first posted footage of militants in Iraq beheading American civilian Nicholas Berg has been closed down. The graphic images of the 26-year-olds death prompted shock and outrage the world over. They also prompted thousands upon thousands of people to log on to the Internet, so they could see for themselves the entire event in all its horror. The video was stored on a computer server belonging to a Malaysian web hosting company, Acme Commerce Sinderium Berhard. The server had been leased to the creators of the site, alAnsar.biz. They were the first to put the film on the net and they are thought to have links to Al Qaeda.
