What is the name of this "radical Islamic website"?
Regarding the Berg story, I keep reading that a "radical Islamic web site" or an "al Qaeda-related web site" originally put out the video. So I thought I'd take a look at the domain's contact information and see if that bore any fruit.

But I cannot find the name of the website.

CNN: An al Qaeda-linked Web site posted video Tuesday of a man who identified himself as an American and then was beheaded. (no mention of web site name)

New York Times: The tape was briefly made public on a Web site linked to Islamic militants, Reuters and other news organizations said, but it quickly became inaccessible. (and no mention of the web site's name)

Washington Post: In a grainy video posted today on a militant Islamic Web site, Nick Berg -- an American businessman from outside Philadelphia -- is shown sitting on the floor in orange prison garb with five masked men behind him. (no web site name)

LA Times: An Islamist website claimed today that a group in Iraq affiliated with Al Qaeda had beheaded an American contractor to avenge the abuse of Iraqi prisoners in U.S. military jails.
(and)
The official said the video surfaced on a website that "has in the past run Al Qaeda statements and announcements and statements from other Islamic groups." (again, no specific web site name or ip addr).

ABC News: The Web site on which the video was posted is known as a clearing house for al-Qaida and Islamic extremist groups' statements and tapes. An audiotape purportedly from bin Laden which the CIA said was probably authentic appeared on the same Web site last week. (nothing specific)

Does this web site actually exist? Has anyone ever seen its name printed?

1. It should be rather easy to tell where the perps are from.
They're speaking in the video. So anybody well versed in Arabic should be able to identify the accent. I think it's a lot harder to fake an accent then seen in the movies.

3. Any news about the chocolate rations?
I can forget all this stuff so long as they increase our chocolate rations.

We've always been at war with Saddam....I mean, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

5. Muntada al-Ansar Islamist
"It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the tape carried on the Muntada al-Ansar Islamist Web site, but the CIA was reviewing the video for clues of who was responsible, a U.S. official said."
