In September the German authorities closed down all Internet contacts the service provider XS4ALL because they allowed a customer to put online the home page of "Radikal", a political magazine supported by "Germans-in-exile" in Amsterdam. The German authorities consider this to be "supporting a terrorist association". XS4ALL became accessible again from Germany after they took the Radikal home page off the air for a few days, but then it came back again.
