DUBAI (Reuters) - Arab television Al Arabiya said on Sunday its staff had received death threats from Syrian security bodies over an interview with U.N. chief Kofi Annan (news - web sites) in which he urged Syria to withdraw from Lebanon by April.

The Dubai-based Arabic station said the threats accompanied criticism of the channel in the Syrian state-run daily Tishreen, which it described as lies aimed at smearing its image.

"Al Arabiya expresses its extreme concern over Tishreen newspaper's method in accusing the television of treachery. This was accompanied with threats directed against a number of our colleagues in Beirut," the television said in a statement faxed to Reuters.

A source at the station, referring to Syrian security bodies, said: "There were death threats against Arabiya's staff in Beirut by the Syrians."

Syrian officials were not immediately available to comment.
