Suddenly everything old is new again...
Regarding the "2003" guide to kidnapping Americans we note the following:
• MEMRI, 15 August 2007
• Jeremy Reynalds, 17 October 2002
The best information available to us suggests that this guide began as the two page thread at al-Mojahedoon. In addition, the first reports regarding the guide appeared on the website of the IDF.
Guide to kidnapping Americans, circa 2002, al-Mojahedoon
Interested parties may request access to the archived material.
As for al-Hesbah, the current distribution point for the guide - it's down.
First 'suspended' site message at al-Hesbah - since replaced
al-Hesbah domain review
In the 24 hours since al-Hesbah was "suspended", we have seen the page that is displayed changed, and control of the domains and server space restored to the administrator(s) of the site.
To review the situation as we understand it, there are eight domain names that continue to service this site (there used to be a couple of more).
All currently point to the same space, but the domain names are not all handled the same.
alhesbah.org, al-hesbah.org, alhesbah.com, freealhesbah.org, myalhesbah.org and alhesbah.info all point to http://star.cpmax.net/suspended.page/. This is what their "suspended.page" currently looks like:
Note that to the best of our knowledge cpmax.net *is* al-Hesbah - they host the site themselves under that name and have for quite some time.
al-hesbah.net and al-hesbah.com, on the other hand, display a slightly different page, and it is not called 'suspended.page':
It remains to be seen whether this just sloth on the part of the admin, or if the intent is to bring al-Hesbah back up on these latter two domains.
Some additional notes:
This would not be the first time al-Hesbah has made a show of suspending itself. See:
internet-haganah.com/harchives/005528.html
For those of you just tuning in, you will find discussion of the recent history of al-Hesbah in all its weirdness here:

islamic-f: closed until further notice
PIJ outreach efforts continue
The interesting thing about this post on a jihadi forum is not the content (it's a news story about an American and an Egyptian injured in an accident in Sinai), but the poster, Abu Osama, who is one of the activists from the forum of Palestinian Islamic Jihad's 'Saraya al-Quds' unit. The latter presents the PIJ as though it were just another salafy/jihadi group, with no mention of the PIJ's relationship with the Shia regime in Iran.

Jihadi forum counter-measures
The admin asks the members to be sure they have a working email account on file so that, in the event of any disruptions, they can be informed as to the site's new location, new name, etc.

TACC and DDNP instructions reappear
They appear now as a thread on the Syrian forum. They are tetraminecopper chlorate and diazodinitrophenol respectively. SITE published information about this in April 2005, reporting distribution at multiple locations.
Sudanese authorities find large quantities of explosives in Khartoum suburb
Recipients of restricted access reports from SoFIR may recall a small but noticable increase in IPs tracing to Sudan over the past months. Did anyone happen to get their hands on the computers these twenty arrestees were using?
August 14, 2007 KHARTOUM, Sudan
Security services have seized large quantities of explosives in a suburb of the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, and arrested twenty people for interrogation, Sudan's justice minister said Tuesday.Police and security forces seized "huge quantities" of cylinders used to produce various explosive devices, 18 sacks of ammunition containing hundreds of bullets and four cylinders filed with explosive material, one of which was ready for use, Justice Minister Mohamed Ali al-Mardi was quoted as saying by the official news agency, SUNA. The raid took place in Hatana, a quiet suburb north of Omdurman — one of the three town districts that form the capital — he said. "This is a huge and coordinated work. This might be a mere tip of the iceberg," al-Mardi said. He did not specify who the suspects were or what was their nationality, but said they were not deemed to have links to al-Qaida. Asked whether they could belong to a homegrown radical cell, he said : "All options remain open." The minister also said there were no signs that the explosives and suspects were linked to an alleged coup plot for which an opposition party leader, a former presidential assistant and several army officers were arrested last month.
