Al-Jazeera Says US Is Harassing Staff In Iraq

HeadlineJul 30, 2003

Another dispute has broken out between the Bush administration and the Arabic television station Al Jazeera. This week Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz claimed Al-Jazeera was “inciting violence” and “endangering the lives of American troops” in Iraq.

Now the station’s chief in Baghdad has come public saying that his staff has been “subject to strafing by gunfire, death threats, confiscation of news material, and multiple detentions and arrests, all carried out by US soldiers”.
