U.S. Arrests Al-Arabiya Reporter in Fallujah

HeadlineNov 17, 2004

The Arabic news station Al Arabiya is also reporting that the US military has held one of its correspondents for the past five days in detention. The journalist Abdel Kader Al-Saadi was picked up in Fallujah on Thursday. The arrest has limited how much Arabic TV networks have been able to cover the assault on Fallujah. The other main satellite station Al Jazeera has been officially banned from reporting in Iraq by the interim Iraqi government.
