According to Peter Feuilherade's 2003
Profile of Al-Arabiya TV,
Al-Arabiya, the Dubai-based satellite TV channel banned from reporting from Iraq by the country's interim government, is consistently rated among the top pan-Arab stations by Middle East audiences, although it was only launched in February this year.
So
why did the terrorists target it?
Al Arabiya, which is majority Saudi-owned, has often been attacked on Web sites used by Islamist militant groups for its perceived pro-Western reporting.
The satellite channel, which has good access to Iraq's U.S.-backed government, said it was being punished for its objectivity.
