Tracing terror videos on the Net

WHOIS
Lets first of all do a WHOIS search to find the registrant of the domain name iaisite.net.

As we can see, the registrant of the site claims to be Mr Abbas Ali from Amman in Jordan. 

We don't know if the name is genuine, but the phone number given does not match those of any entries for "Abbas Ali" in the Jordanian phone book. 

Look for Multiple Domain Names
It is not unusual for companies, groups and individuals to buy different domain names for the same site.

If we visit iaisite.org, we see that it takes us to the same webpage as iaisite.net, but we also find that this domain is registered to a different person - a Mr Ali Sultan from Oman. There is a different phone number, but the contact email address, iaisite@yahoo.com, is the same.

It is perhaps surprising to see American flags next to the IP addresses of these domain names, but what does this mean?
