US Marines on Sunday arrested a reporter of Iran's Arabic television channel Al-Aalam in the Iraqi city of Kut and took him to an undisclosed place, the channel's cameraman said. Abdol Hadi Zeighami was arrested while reporting on US tanks rolling into the eastern town, around 170 km southeast of Baghdad. US Marines also took away the film which the Al-Aalam crew had shot from the war scene. "American Marines seized the camera and after taking out its film gave the camera back," the cameraman said, adding they also took away some of the "technical equipment" of the Al-Aalam crew. |
