This morning I was over at kill.net and noticed that Kimble had taken it offline.

The page contains the following text:

YIHAT, founded to acquire and coordinate a team of hackers with the goal of eliminating the electronic foundations of terroristic activities worldwide, has successfully completed the first phase of its mission: The team has reached the projected strength and has gathered a sufficient amount of information to launch the second phase of the YIHAT operation, which is to monitor, infiltrate and take control of the information infrastructure used by or supporting terrorists. Therefore, the public web site, www.kill.net, is no longer needed and has been closed down effective immediately in order to prevent the dissemination of confidential information to those who are not part of the core YIHAT team, and to take away motivation from those who - for good reason! - did not become part of the core YIHAT team from continuing to play around, e.g. defacing completely unrelated web sites.

He also says that taking kill.net offline is 'phase 1 of his mission completed' sounds to me like he may be trying to cover up the fact that it was brought down by DoS attacks. Post some comments and let me know what the general feeling on this is.
