p2pnet.net News:- A website used by Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev to claim responsibility for terrorist attacks including September’s school siege in southern Russia has reopened after being taken down by the Lithuanian government and a host in Finland.

The site, www.kavkazcenter.com, is now on a Swedish server with a backup in Finland, says Mosnews, quoting Finnish news agency STT, and going on:

“However, as of Monday, the address only displayed a page saying that Kavkazcenter would appear in one day.”

It was last open for a few days in mid-October, Mosnews goes on.

STT quoted the Finnish businessman who rented out the server at the time as saying it was the website wasn’t illegal and that he’d therefore decided to “help reopen it”.

“After 330 hostages, half of them children, were killed in the September school siege in Beslan, separatist leader Shamil Basayev posted a statement on the site claiming responsibility for the attack,” says Mosnews, adding:

“The spate of attacks in August and September that included the hostage crisis led to Russian authorities applying pressure to close down a number of separatist sites, although some of them were reportedly closed down independently by hackers appalled at the bloody attacks.”

It was still down when we tried it.
