NewsweekApril 4 issue – Intelligence and law-enforcement agencies are learning that tracking down the operators of Islamic terrorist Web sites is like trying to locate a floating craps game: here today, gone tomorrow.

The public prosecutor’s office in Utrecht tells NEWSWEEK that it has opened a criminal investigation into possible Internet hate crimes.
The article goes on to note that this outfit hosted Abu Hamza’s site and others. The owner was no doubt just trying to make a buck — with no concern for the larger picture at all.
