Government Shuts Al Jazeera TV Office

Kuwait shut down the local Al Jazeera bureau, saying the Arab world’s most popular satellite TV network is not objective.
Saad Enezi, the bureau’s chief, said he was not sure whether the closure was temporary or permanent.
The Kuwait News Agency quoted an unidentified Information Ministry official as saying the decision was prompted by “this channel’s bias and its lack of objectivity in reporting the events that took place in Kuwait recently.” The official did not elaborate.
