Al-Jazeera halts Iraq broadcasts news.bbc.co.uk (edit-Al J flexes its' muscles inside the Arabic World) The station has shown Saddam Hussein speeches The Arabic broadcaster Al-Jazeera has suspended reporting from Iraq after Baghdad barred two of its correspondents from reporting there. "Al Jazeera regrets this surprising and sudden stand which is not justified," the broadcaster said in a statement. The Iraqi Information Ministry barred Diyar al-Omari - an Iraqi - from reporting, and ordered correspondent Tayseer Alouni to leave the country. Al-Jazeera said the Iraqis gave no reason for their decision. The station interrupted a regular broadcast to make its announcement. They cannot dictate to us who can and cannot work Editor-in-chief Ibrahim Helal Its correspondents will remain in Baghdad, editor-in-chief Ibrahim Helal told the Reuters news agency. "They cannot dictate to us who can and cannot work," Reuters quoted him as saying. Al-Jazeera will continue to transmit images from its offices in Baghdad, Basra and Mosul, the station said. There are eight correspondents working for the station in the country. The Qatar-based satellite broadcaster is one of the most influential voices in the Arab world. It claims to have 35 million viewers. The US and UK have charged that the station is biased and have criticised it for airing pictures of dead Western troops. Al-Jazeera's new English-language website has suffered a number of denial-of-service attacks since the war began, in which hackers flooded the site with junk messages. Visitors were also redirected to web pages with pro-US messages or pornography. Iraq expelled correspondents for the US cable news broadcaster CNN last week.
