Al Jazeera TV says hit by Morocco broadcast ban
Moroccan authorities have banned Al Jazeera television from broadcasting a news programme focusing on north Africa from its studios in Morocco, the Qatar-based Arabic network said Tuesday. Authorities gave no reason for the ban against the nightly news broadcast, Al Jazeera said, adding that the programme would be aired from its main studios in the Qatari capital Doha. The popular news network, which also launched an English-language channel in late 2006, has often drawn the ire of Middle Eastern governments as well as the United States over its coverage of the war in Iraq and providing a platform for opposition and human rights groups. There was no immediate comment available from Moroccan authorities. (Reuters via Media Network Weblog)
