(Israeli) Police detain Al Jazeera crew members for third time
Haaretz.com ^ | July 17, 2006 | Yoav Stern

Police detained Al Jazeera crew members three times in twenty-four hours, the last being on Monday. The official cause for the brief arrests was suspicions against the crewmembers of reporting on the location of rocket hits in order to assist Hezbollah.

Other TV networks, including Israeli news services, made similar reports without suffering from police intervention.

On Monday police detained Al Jazeera manager Walid al-Omri for reporting of rocket hits in the Upper Galilee village of Kfar Yasif. Al-Omri was also detained late on Sunday.

Also on Sunday police detained for questioning Al Jazeera correspondent Elias Karam and the team working with him in Acre. The team was released after an hour of questioning.

There is NO doubt in my mind that Al Jazerra would do anything to help the terrorists!

The NYT greatly regrets that they were unable to publish that information first.

I was wondering the same about our own networks. They are also showing where the bombs hit.

Would anyone be shocked to find this suspicion was correct?

Al-Jizz "reporters" are enemy agents and should be shot on sight.

For a minute there, I had a little fantasy that Israel would detain the NYT too.

In a time of war, I can't believe that Israel actually allowed an Al-Jazeera crew to be operating in the first place. They would obviously be inclined to feed whatever information they could to Israel's enemies, including any troop movements, unit markings, movement of armor, etc.
