Al-Jazeera harrassment continues

US occupation forces have arrested an Aljazeera cameraman in Iraq for the second time in less than a month.

Salah Hasan arrived at the scene of explosions in Baquba on Monday and was arrested only minutes later.

According to an Aljazeera TV spokesman, Jihad Ballut, Hasan was among several international journalists on the scene who were asked for their IDs.

“Hassan was the only one arrested. The rest were allowed to go,” Ballut told Aljazeera.net.

Al-Jazeera pissed off the Imperial Invaders early on in the war by publishing pictorials that were less than flattering to the coalition. They've been paying for that and their continued coverage ever since. First, we bombed their offices, killing one of their reporters. And within the last month, two other Al-Jazeera journalists were arrested and held by coalition forces.

Check out other journalists who've met their demise in Iraq on the receiving end of coalition gunfire. (Scroll down to the journalists section.)
