Al-Qaeda Materials on Blogs Cited for Shutdown

Blogetery.com, a blogging platform that claimed to service more than 70,000 blogs, was shut down after FBI agents informed executives of Burst.net, Blogetery's Web host, late on July 9 that links to al-Qaeda materials were found on Blogetery's servers, Joe Marr, chief technology officer for Burst.net, told CNET. Sources close to the investigation say that included in those materials were the names of American citizens targeted for assassination by al-Qaeda.
