Al Jazeera Banned in Iran

It seems that not all countries in the Middle East like Al Jazeera. After accusing the tv station of inflaming violent protests among the nation's Arab minorities, Iran has suspended Al Jazzera's operations inside its country.

The riots are thought to have been sparked by alleged plans - which the government denies - to change the area's ethnic makeup.

Al-Jazeera described the action as "surprising and unjustified".
