●アルジャズィーラとアブダビ・テレビの支局がほぼ同時に爆撃されてジャーナリストが米軍に虐殺されましたが、その惨劇が起こる前にアブダビ・テレビの記者が救援を求めて国際赤十字、国際ジャーナリスト機関、国境なき記者団、アラブ記者組合に電話をしていて、「戦車に包囲されている。信じがたい攻撃が起きているので助けてほしい」と救援を求めていた、とのこと。

●また、戦車がホテルに砲撃するところをフランスのテレビ局が放映したそうです。

BAGHDAD, April 8 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) - Following the tragic death of three reporters earlier Tuesday, April 8, in a U.S. tank attack on Palestine hotel - the residence of reporters - and bombing of Al-Jazeera office, a correspondent with Abu Dhabi TV issued an SOS to humanitarian organizations to rescue a group of journalists who are "surrounded" by U.S. tanks in the satellite channel's Baghdad offices.

The correspondent, Shaker Hamed, issued the call for help on Abu Dhabi TV saying that "25 journalists and technicians belonging to Abu Dhabi television and Qatari satellite television channel Al-Jazeera are surrounded in the offices of Abu Dhabi TV in Baghdad," Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported.
【AFP通信の報道によれば、アブダビ・テレビのバグダッド支局からシャケル・ハメド記者が(国際赤十字委員会に)助けを求める電話をかけ、「アブダビ・テレビとアルジャズィーラのジャーナリストと技師25人がバグダッドのアブダビ・テレビ支局で包囲されている」と訴えた。】

"We are surrounded in a military area where there are no civilians, with the exception of the Abu Dhabi TV team and a five people from Al-Jazeera," Hamed said, calling on the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) "to intervene quickly to pull us out of this zone where missiles and shells are striking in an unbelievable way."
【「我々は戦闘地域で(戦車に)包囲された。ここにはアブダビ・テレビのクルーとアルジャズィーラの5人以外に、市民はいない」とハメド記者は国際赤十字委員会に報告し、「すぐに介入して、我々をここから脱出させてくれ。ミサイルや砲弾で信じられないような攻撃が行なわれている」と訴えた。】

The correspondent also called for the help of the International Organization of Journalists, Reporters Sans Frontieres and the Arab Journalists Union to rescue them.
【ハメド記者は、国際ジャーナリスト機関、国境なき記者団、アラブ記者組合にも、救援を求めていた。】


The offices are on a road along the banks of the Tigris River between the Mansur Hotel and the Iraqi planning ministry, not far from the Republican Palace compound where fierce fighting raged between U.S. and Iraqi troops early Tuesday.


One of Al-Jazzera's Baghdad correspondents, Tareq Ayyoub, a cameraman for the Reuters news agency, Taras Protsyuk, and a cameraman for Spain's Telecinco, Jose Couso, <http://www.islamonline.net/English/News/2003-04/08/article05.shtml>were killed Tuesday in American attacks.


Dubai's Gulf News reported Tuesday that Shaker's older brother Jawad and two of his brother's children, Hamid, 13, and 12-year-old Khulood died in bombing by U.S. warplanes of the southern city of Nassiriya.


●●French TV Exposes Deliberate Targeting

France 3 TV footage showed U.S. tanks deliberately firing at Baghdad's media hotel killing two foreign reporters.
【フランス3テレビは米軍戦車がバグダッドのメディアホテルを狙って砲撃し、2人の外人記者を殺している様子を放映した。】

"They (U.S. tanks) headed there, moved their turrets and waited at least two minutes before opening fire," said Herve de Ploeg, the journalist who filmed the U.S. attack.
【「やつら(米軍タンク)はそっちに向かい、旋回砲塔を動かしてすくなくとも2分待機してから、発砲した」と米軍戦車の攻撃を撮影していたジャーナリストのHerve de Ploegが証言した。】

"I did not hear any shots in the direction of the tank, which was stationed at the west entrance of the Al-Jumhuriya (Republic) bridge, 600 meters (yards) northwest of the hotel," she averred.

The French TV channel had positioned two cameras in two rooms facing the bridge as of 6:30 am (0230 GMT).

"It had been very quiet for a moment. There was no shooting at all. Then I saw the turret turning in our direction and the carriage lifting. It faced the target," said De Ploeg.

"It was not a case of instinctive firing…I'm very specific because I was due to go on air," she explained.

War Coverage Will Be Censored to Suit Pentagon: Fisk
【戦争報道はペンタゴンの都合がいいように検閲されることになる:フィスク氏が警告】

-----------------------------------------------------------

CNN intends to apply a censorship system to the coverage of the looming war to reassure the Pentagon that there is no cause for concern about the news coming from the battlefield
-----------------------------------------------------------

LONDON, February 26 (IslamOline.net & News Agencies) -- Potential U.S.-led invasion of Iraq would definitely be subject to a lot of censorship from the U.S. media itself, let alone the U.S. wartime administration, said a leading British writer and the former Middle East Independent correspondent.

"The boys from CNN, CBS, ABC and The New York Times will be "embedded" among the U.S. marines and infantry. The degree of censorship hasn't quite been worked out," Robert Fisk said in an article published Tuesday, February 25, in the British daily the Independent.


Fisk revealed that the CNN intends to apply a "censorship" system entitled "Script Approval" to the coverage of the looming war, reassuring the Pentagon officials that there is no cause for concern at all about the news coming from the battlefield.

"It doesn't matter how much the Pentagon cuts from the reporters' dispatches. A new CNN system of "script approval" ? the iniquitous instruction to reporters that they have to send all their copy to anonymous officials in Atlanta to ensure it is suitably sanitised ? suggests that the Pentagon and the Department of State have nothing to worry about. Nor do the Israelis," he wrote.

According to the new systems, all reporters preparing package scripts must submit the scripts for approval to an "authorized manager to be approved for air…when a script is updated it must be re-approved, preferably by the originating approving authority."

"All packages originating outside Washington, LA (Los Angeles) or NY (New York), including all international bureaus, must come to the ROW in Atlanta for approval," read the CNN-drafted approval document.

The "ROW" is the row of script editors in Atlanta who can insist on changes or "balances" in the reporter's dispatch, said Fisk.


●●'APPROVED'

-----------------------------------------------------------

Fisk further said the new computerised system of script approval will allow authorised script approvers to mark scripts (reports) in a clear and standard manner.

"Script EPs (executive producers) will click on the coloured APPROVED button to turn it from red (unapproved) to green (approved). When someone makes a change in the script after approval, the button will turn yellow." Someone? Who is this someone? CNN's reporters aren't told," Fisk said.

"Note the key words here: "approved" and "authorised". CNN's man or woman in Kuwait or Baghdad ? or Jerusalem or Ramallah ? may know the background to his or her story; indeed, they will know far more about it than the "authorities" in Atlanta. But CNN's chiefs will decide the spin of the story," Fisk sarcastically added.

Fisk further accused CNN and other U.S. networks of "operating anti-journalistic systems, noting that it was not the fault of the reporters.

"CNN's teams may use cliches and don military costumes ? you will see them do this in the next war ? but they try to get something of the truth out. Next time, though, they're going to have even less chance," he said.


Ramallah is Case in Point


The British respected writer further gave an example of the CNN "awful system" adopted also by the U.S. network in its coverage of the Israeli incursions on the occupied West Bank town of Ramallah.

"This awful system is evident from an intriguing exchange last year between CNN's reporter in the occupied West Bank town of Ramallah, and Eason Jordan, one of CNN's top honchos in Atlanta. The journalist's first complaint was about a story by the reporter Michael Holmes on the Red Crescent ambulance drivers who are repeatedly shot at by Israeli troops," Fisk said.

The complaint said: "We risked our lives and went out with ambulance drivers... for a whole day. We have also witnessed ambulances from our window being shot at by Israeli soldiers... The story received approval from Mike Shoulder. The story ran twice and then Rick Davis (a CNN executive) killed it. The reason was we did not have an Israeli army response, even though we stated in our story that Israel believes that Palestinians are smuggling weapons and wanted people in the ambulances.

"The Israelis refused to give CNN an interview, only a written statement. This statement was then written into the CNN script. But again it was rejected by Davis in Atlanta. Only when, after three days, the Israeli army gave CNN an interview did Holmes's story run ? but then with the dishonest inclusion of a line that said the ambulances were shot in "crossfire" (i.e. that Palestinians also shot at their own ambulances)."

The relevance of this, Fisk said, is all too obvious in the next Gulf War.

"We are going to have to see a U.S. army officer denying everything the Iraqis say if any report from Iraq is to get on air," he said.
