Dear Host master,
This is to clarify our position in regards to the posting on your website
(http://www.talkaboutprofessions.com/group/alt.security.terrorism.flight800/messages/1784.html)
and thereby to neutralize any plausible implications that may be
construed thereof.
At the outset, it will be logical to start with the relation****p between
the three companies mentioned in your post, Al Hejailan Projects
Engineering, Horizon Communication Services and Horizon Satellite
Services.
Al Hejailan Projects Engineering Co. is a reputed company established in
Saudi Arabia way back in the 80s and as a holding company, it offers a
diverse range of services and products through many of its subsidiaries.
The activities of these subsidiary companies range from construction,
telecoms, manufacturing and other services. Al Hejailan Projects
Engineering Co. sup****ts its subsidiaries with Management and Financial
Sup****t services.
Both, Horizon Communication Services, registered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
and Horizon Satellite Services, registered in Dubai, UAE are fully owned
subsidiaries of Al Hejailan Projects Engineering Co.
Horizon Communication Services (HCS) provides IT infrastructure
implementation and maintenance sup****t to Al Hejailan Projects Engineering
Co. Whereas Horizon Satellite Services (HSS) provides
internet-via-satellite connectivity solutions for the Middle East region.
As an Internet Service Provider, HSS is a member of RIPE
(http://www.ripe.net)
and conducts business in strict adherence to
regulations stipulated by RIPE including those related to issuing of IP
addresses to clients. Accordingly, we are required to specify the usage
and update the RIPE database to reflect our customers’ details as and when
new IP addresses are issued.
IP address 82.205.138.35 was assigned to Horizon Communication Services
(HCS) in May-06. In due course, when HCS requested more IP addresses, we
(HSS) assigned them with a new set of IP addresses and gave their old IP
address 82.205.138.35 to one of our customers in Lebanon. However, we did
not update this information on the RIPE database to reflect the new
change, since it is a standard practice to do this periodically and not as
soon as an IP address is changed. This explains why the search to
www.nazrolla.org led to the fact that it was hosted on 82.205.138.35 and
why the RIPE database was still showing Horizon Communication Services’
name.
Further, Al Hejailan’s name was not registered to that IP address but the
address of one of the persons registered in the RIPE database, Karthikeyan
K which mentioned Al Hejailan Projects Engineering’s name.
As an Internet Service Provider, these kinds of issues are common and
whenever HSS receives inquiries related to usage of its services, in the
larger interest of all concerned and that of the society we live in and
contribute to, it is our policy to disclose all necessary information,
within our means and knowledge, on the person or company using our
Internet services, including IP addresses that have been issued by us.
However, when it comes to content, understandably, we do not have control
over the content hosted by customers using our services.
I hope this explains the situation and trust you will be kind enough to
use this clarification to clear up this issue with the owner of the blog.
Also, kindly remove this posting from your website.
Please feel free to revert back to us in case you need any more details or
clarifications.
Thank you & kind regards,
