Iceland shuts down 'Islamic State' website

Published on: 

 Iceland has closed down a website believed to be used by the jehadi organisation Islamic State, according  to the authority responsible for the country’s Internet domain name “.Is”.

“ISNIC has suspended domains that were used for the website of a known terrorist organisation,” the Internet in Iceland Inc authority said in a statement late Sunday.

The site “khilafah.Is” — which ISNIC said was run by a group calling itself Islamic State — was traced back to a web hosting company on the island nation at the weekend and was believed to have been online since mid-September.
