U.S. TROOPS FIRE ON AL-JAZEERA CONVOY
08.04.2003 [08:53]

Tehran, April 8, IRNA -- The Qatari broadcaster Al-Jazeera, whose coverage of the US-led invasion of Iraq has upset both the belligerent sides, claimed Monday that US troops had fired at one of its cars from close range outside Baghdad.

The TV showed footages of a car, dotted with bullet holes, saying US troops opened fire at the vehicle which was moving on a highway near the International Baghdad Airport.
American troops stopped the car for inspections and shot at it shortly after they let the driver head on, Al-Jazeera said.

The station has angered American officials after airing footages of dead US troops in the Iraq war as well as allegedly despising US prisoners of war by broadcasting interviews with them.

Al-Jazeera is largely popular among Arabs, saying it had attracted even more viewers since the US-led war began.
