"Sources close to the investigation say that included in those
materials were the names of American citizens targeted for
assassination by al-Qaeda. Messages from Osama bin Laden and other
leaders of the terrorist organization, as well as bomb-making tips,
were also allegedly found on the server. But Marr said a Burst.net
employee erred in telling Blogetery's operator and members of the
media that the FBI had ordered it to terminate Blogetery's service. He
said Burst.net did that on its own. "
