Chan'ad Bahraini

Has anyone recently re-visited the supposed "Ansar al-Islam Bahrain" website that was the source of a recent terrorist threat to Bahrain? Well it now has a new entrance page, pictured above. Here's the interesting thing. When the site first popped up, Bu Lahab noticed that there was a spelling mistake in that the last dot on the word "شیخ" (shaikh) was missing, rendering it meaningless as "شیح" (shai7):

However, on the new front page, the word is missing yet another dot, rendering it "شبح" (shaba7), meaning "ghost":

However, this can't be a typo because the big English text right next to it also says "Ghost Bin Laden". Now what is meant by "Ghost Bin Laden", I have no clue. I would like to imagine, as does Bu Lahab, that this site was created by someone with too much time on his hands, and is having a great bloody laugh reading my analysis of his missing dots. But you can never be too sure.
