This story has some major problems.  Shamalbank.com is hosted in Norway
and doesn't seem to have any connection back to Sudan.  It is a
brochureware site.  It seems highly unlikely that hacking the nameserver
has anything to do with bank opeations as it is run by the ISP, ActiveISP
in Norway.  Kim Schmitz does not have $10 million to pay as a reward as
his businesses are reportedly on the verge of bankrupcy.  I can't see an
Islamic bank using Checkpoint-1, an Israeli product.
