Egypt Closes Satellite TV Feed Supporting Iraqi Insurgents
[AP/Washington Post] Nadia Abou El-Magd - Egypt has stopped its satellite transmission of the private Iraqi channel Al-Zawraa whose pro-Sunni programming came under criticism from the U.S. and Iraqi governments, an Information Ministry official said Monday. The channel's owner, Mishan al-Jabouri, said it is still being transmitted by Arabsat. Al-Zawraa broadcasts pictures of insurgent attacks on U.S. and Iraqi forces, showing their vehicles exploding. Iraqi security forces shut down Al-Zawraa's Baghdad offices in November, saying it was "inciting hatred and instigating violence."
