| Al Jazeera tracks jamming signal to Libya spy building |
| 2011-02-22 |
| [Arab News] Libya's intelligence agency is behind the powerful jamming that has disrupted Al Jizz television's signal across much of the Middle East and North Africa, the Arab satellite broadcaster said on Monday. "The source of (the) signal blockage has been pinpointed to a Libyan intelligence agency building... south of the capital Tripoli," said Al Jizz, whose coverage of a regional political unrest has been watched across the Arab world. Access to the network's website continued to be blocked in Libya, the Qatar-based broadcaster said in a statement. "The media should be able to operate freely, so all interference with our work and our broadcast signal should cease forthwith," an Al Jizz front man said. There was no immediate response from Libya, as Libyan leader Muammar Qadaffy's four-decade-old rule appeared in increasing jeopardy as anti-government protests reached the capital for the first time and security forces killed dozens of people. |
