Iraq extends ban on al-Jazeera TV
Iraq's interim government has indefinitely extended a month-long ban on Arabic TV news channel al-Jazeera.
It says there has been no response to fears that broadcasts incite violence.
A statement issued by the office of the interim Prime Minister, Iyad Allawi, also accused al-Jazeera of continuing to operate from Iraq despite the ban.
The government has complained that Arabic satellite channels encourage kidnappings by showing pictures of hostages threatened with execution.
Al-Jazeera's reporters in Iraq have said they treat such events only as news stories, and have suggested the ban is an attempt to suppress unwelcome news.
