Gaza, April 4 (Xinhuanet) -- Ezel Dein al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), accused Monday the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States of closing down the brigades' website on the Internet.

A leaflet sent to reporters said that the FBI had forced the server that hosted the website on the Internet (www.alqassam.info) to close it down on March 31.

The leaflet said that the step fell in line with the American-backed Zionist war on the Palestinian people.

The illogical closure of the site was the 8th of its kind ever since its establishment, which forced its administration to change its address name more than eight times, according to the leaflet.

1. If FBI was capable of doing that they'd have shut down DU years ago

Not only that, covert operations outside the USA, Indian resevations, military bases, and territories are the job of the CIA, not the FBI.

I call "bullshit".

3. Intentions of the USG

It is the intention of the US government, through the auspices of the military, to shut down and disrupt internet operations of perceived "enemies". I'm at work so I can't retrieve for you, but google the "National Defense Strategy" of the U.S. and read for yourself its objectives. It's already approved policy.
