In other Iraq news, the Iraqi government has asked Parliament to take legal action against the pan-Arab satellite news network Al Jazeera. In a statement, Iraq’s cabinet said Al Jazeera’s coverage is contributing to “spreading death and destruction in Iraq.” The move comes two years after the Iraqi government banned Al Jazeera from reporting in Iraq. In response, Al Jazeera editor-in-chief Ahmed Sheikh said: “The Iraqi government is looking for a scapegoat to justify their failure in bringing security and stability to Iraqis.”
