US to Qatar: Do Something About JihadTV
The United States is pressuring Qatar to do something about the non-stop jihad incitement pouring from Al Jazeera television: At U.S. Urging, Qatar to Seek Review at Al Jazeera.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Under U.S. pressure, Qatar’s foreign minister said on Thursday he would seek a review of Arabic television station al Jazeera’s coverage of Iraq after Washington complained it was inaccurate and anti-American.
“I am not responsible (for) al-Jazeera,” Foreign Minister Hamad bin Jassim said of the Qatar-based station funded by the Gulf ally’s ruler.
“But we will take this concern back to al Jazeera and they have to review (it), because we need al Jazeera to be professional and we don’t want anybody to send lies or to send (the) wrong information,” he said after talks at the White House with Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
