Hizballah Hijacks Internet Service From Texas ISP

Thanks to Chad Evans at In the Bullpen

Hizballah's propaganda wing, Al Manar TV, hijacked the service of a customer of Broadwing Communications, a Texas Internet Service Provider:

Broadwing Communications essentially threw Hezbollah off of the Internet this week. It came after the discovery that terror propaganda was linking to the company's network.

In an exclusive interview, Broadwing executives told us how Al Manar TV, the propaganda arm of the Lebanese terror organization was able to get on the Internet. It was done by hijacking the Web service of one of Broadwing's customers linking Al Manar to a Broadwing Internet address.

"Our customer had absolutely no relationship to Al Manar. And neither did we," Dillon said.

Terror experts say Al Manar's Web site is key to Hezbollah's fundraising, recruiting and communication. After being disconnected by Broadwing, they say it's already popped back up through India, but appears to have been shut right back down.

Not only terrorist scum, but cheap terrorist scum.

2 I read somewhere that IDF had hacked into the Al-Manar TV broadcasts and would insert images of IAF attacks on Hizbullah positions and showing pictures of Nasrallah with promises like "Your days are numbered Hassan" and so on.
I thought that was hilarious! Sweeeeeet.

3 If they hacked a person in Texas, they must already have been on the Internet to do it. Which means that even if they lost access to that hacked account, they have not been "thrown off" the Internet.

4 You know, this just illustrates my point about muslims: they are nothing more than parasites upon human civilization, because with all the resources at their disposal, and the tenacity they display, if they turned their efforts toward creating rather than destroying, they could take their place in the civilized world as human beings rather than the unevolved savages they are, but all they want to do is kill and destroy, and there will never be any chance of peace on this earth as long as one remains alive.
