Al Jabbar Internet Group has announced that remaining sister companies of Maktoob Group that weren't part of the Yahoo! deal will group together under the 'Jabbar Internet Group' which will be managed by Samih Toukan, one of the two original co-founders of Maktoob.

Maktoob Business reports that Yahoo! has agreed to acquire Maktoob.com, the Arab world’s largest online community, marking the first major investment by a U.S. technology company in a region where internet penetration is still in its infancy.
