Beheading Web Site Shut Down


Malaysian company Acme Commerce shut down the site which showed a video of Nick Berg being beheaded in Iraq. The site al-ansar.biz had rented space on the company's web server. Now the site is not available.

The company says one main reason for the shutdown is "a sudden surge of massive traffic that is taking up too much bandwidth and causing inconvenience to our other clients". The company does not allow "grisly" and "potentially offensive" content.
