Al-Qaeda’s Message Boards Down For 11 Days | The Washington Post reported today that several websites associated with al-Qaeda have been offline for as many as 11 days. According to the report, 5 websites have gone down since March 22. It is unclear why the sites are down, although some have speculated that a cyberattack may be the cause because of the number of sites that have been hit and the length of time they have been offline. U.S. officials speaking on condition of anonymity have denied that government agencies are behind the outages.
