By Ned Stafford, Newsbytes
BERLIN, GERMANY,
06 Aug 2001, 3:09 PM CST

Otto Schily, Germany's interior minister, plans to visit the U.S. this
fall in attempt to shut down right-wing, hate Web sites hosted in the
U.S. that are directed toward a German audience, according to Mr.
Schily's spokesman. Spokesman Dirk Inger told Newsbytes that Schily
would meet with U.S. government officials to discuss possible methods
of shutting down the Web sites... Schily added: "We want to examine
together the possibilities of using civil laws to sue the creators of
right-wing Web sites based in the USA that have an effect in Germany."
