Update: I posted a follow-up to this entry here.
Syria-news.com is probably the most popular Syrian website with a rank of ~2000 at Alexa, and it is part of the daily browsing habits of most Syrian Internet users. Yesterday the domain name was hijacked, now it's pointing to a parking page at Sedo, and the new owner is selling the domain for 10,000 EUR.
I did some investigation to see how it was actually taken away, the current WHOIS records show GoDaddy's Domains by Proxy as the owner, which is a service for hiding real contact info, I checked WebHosting.Info for a cached version of the old WHOIS records:
ICANN Registrar: BULKREGISTER, LLC.
Creation Date: Oct 17 2004
Expiry Date: Oct 17 2007

Record created date: 2004-10-17
Record expires on date: 2007-10-17

Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.GOLDENLOGOS.COM 66.225.220.137
NS2.GOLDENLOGOS.COM 66.225.220.138
TransferGuard LOCK Status => DISABLED
(Here is the page, and here is a screenshot in case the cache is updated)
Bingo! Transfer lock was disabled, to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, transfer lock must be disabled, and the current owner must either confirm or deny the transfer email sent to them, but if they don't respond to this email, it's considered as a confirmation to the transfer process.
These facts lead me to believe that the hijacker initiated a transfer request after they noticed the transfer lock disabled, hoping that the domain owner would not deny it, the previous owner didn't read the email, or thought it was spam or something, and several days later, the domain was gone.
Domain owners, lock your domains, it's pretty easy and straightforward, just look for this option in your registrar's control panel.
The funny thing is how the domain was quickly blocked by proxy servers here, I can't access the domain right now, obviously they blocked it fearing that bogus news may be posted there, amazing how quick this response is, while innocent sites like Wired are still blocked and requests to unblock them are ignored.
To answer a question, Syria-news chances of getting the domain back are pretty slim, that was an immense mistake on their part.
