> BONN (Sep 13, 1996 4:05 p.m. EDT) - Germany's Federal Prosecutor's
> Office said on Friday it was investigating a number of so-called
> Internet providers because they were giving computer subscribers
> access to a radical left-wing electronic newspaper.
> A spokesman for the office said the firms were suspected of inciting
> criminal activity and advertising for a terrorist group because they
> had failed to block access to the left-wing Internet page "radikal
> 154."
> Among other things, the electronic site provides instructions on how
> to sabotage railway lines. Prosecutors consider it to be terrorist
> propaganda.
> On Friday, the page was still available via major Internet providers
> CompuServe Inc, AOL and T-Online, the online service of
> telecommunications giant Deutsche Telekom.
> AOL said in a statement that it was technically impossible to block
> the server where "radikal" originated, and that the page was anyway
> now available via at least 30 other servers and in thousands of
> electronic copies.
> Authorities have been getting increasingly frustrated that radical
> left- or right-wing material whose distribution is a criminal offence
> in Germany can be picked up here on the Internet from computers in
> foreign countries. The server where "radikal" originates is located in
> the Netherlands.
