Bombing knocks Iraqi TV off air
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's domestic state television channel has been
off the air and a source at the Information Ministry told Reuters that the
disruption was probably caused by bomb damage to the ministry in Baghdad.
The station does not normally broadcast overnight but it failed to come
back on the air in the morning after a U.S.-led air raid that damaged the
Information Ministry building.
Last week, domestic television briefly went off the air but resumed
transmission, apparently after engineering work. The station is used by
President Saddam Hussein to address the nation. U.S. officials say Iraqi
television facilities also have military functions.
Iraq's international satellite channel, which has also been affected at
times by the bombing of Baghdad, was still broadcasting on Monday.
