A Taliban fraction recently took responsibility for an attack on
coalition troops in Afghanistan, which claimed the lives of four
soldiers. Nothing unusual about that, other than the fact that the

The site was up for more than a year, boasting of insurgent attacks on
coalition troops, in a macabre tally of IED attacks, rocket strikes and
ambushes on coalition troops, and all this for $70 a month. Seems they
weren't getting much traffic and went for a cheap server.
Eventually, the account was pulled last week after a blogger noticed the connection and called attention to it.
