Meanwhile, one of the largest television news networks in the Middle East has agreed to stop reporting from Iraq. The president of the Iraqi Governing Council, Jalal Talabani, accused al-Arabiya of inciting murder after it broadcast an audio tape purported to carry the voice of Saddam Hussein. He threatened to imprison journalists if they didn't comply. The network reportedly called the move "blatant censorship".
