Kuwait has closed down the office of Qatar's satellite channel Al-Jazeera, the station's Kuwait office said on Sunday.
Al-Jazeera correspondent Saad al-Enezi told AFP he had received a phone call from Kuwait's information ministry informing him that a decision had been taken to close down the station. "They said it was because Al-Jazeera is biased," Enezi explained.
Kuwaiti officials were not available for comment, however sources close to the government confirmed to the news agency that a decision had been taken to close the station's office in the country. (Albawaba.com)
