In March 2006, the site was accused by rivalWho|date=December 2007 Jihadist forum of aiding in the arrest of the well-known cyber-persona of "Irhabi 007", a representative of Al-Qaeda in Iraq. This led to the site administrators shutting down the site on March 26, stating that they had discovered the identities of two members of the site who were actual security officers, Muhammad al-Zuhayri and Muhammad Tamallat.cite web | url=http://jamestown.org/terrorism/news/article.php?articleid=2369957 | title=Intelligence War Breaks out on the Jihadi Forums | publisher=The Jamestown Foundation | author=Ulph, Stephen | date=2006-04-11 | accessdate=2007-06-30]

In April 2006, the site was accused of aiding the arrests of 40 mujahideen in Saudi Arabia, drawing claims that it was either "heavily monitored", or working in actual connection with, Saudi security forces.

On August 4, 2006, the site again caught attention when it released a communique entitled "How to Kill a Crusader in the Arabian Peninsula".
