#1 See the post on the Abu Dahbi station being attacked a little later. Money quote: The al-Arabiya, Al-Minar and Al-Jazeera news channels broadcast shots of the arrival of two aggressors' tanks on a major bridge on the Tigris river.

The al-Arabiya, Al-Minar and Al-Jazeera news channels all SIMULTANEOUSLY show the same shots? Sounds to me that the same people are calling the editing shots too.
