Hamas Everyone has (or had) a web site these days,
even groups judged terrorist who operate underground. This link has
been dead for a while, and I have not tracked them to a new site.
The site was said to have been hosted in Sweden and then moved to
Russia. It also was said to contain a lot of crude anti-Jewish propaganda,
but of course, I can't read it. (Unavailable
