BAGHDAD, July 22 (AFP) - The US-led coalition in Iraq has closed down a local newspaper for the first time, accusing it of incitement to murder in an article published earlier this month, officials said Tuesday.

"It was our duty to close down this newspaper," Al-Mustaqila, or The Independent, a senior coalition official said on condition of anonymity.

"Al-Mustaqila newspaper published on July 13 a clearly inciteful article entitled 'Death to all spies and those who cooperate with the US; killing them is a religious duty'," the coalition added in a statement.

"The Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) and the Iraqi police service therefore judged that Al-Mustaqila poses a significant security threat to Iraqi citizens, placing it in violation of international humanitarian law, as well as in breach of CPA order number 14," it said.

The newspaper's offices had been closed and equipment impounded in the raid, carried out by Iraqi police units on Monday, the official said, adding that one employee had been arrested.

He said that the newspaper had published "barefaced lies" in the past, but that the coalition decided to close the journal down after it published the July 13 article.

Iraqi police Brigadier General Ahmed Ibrahim added in a statement: "The Iraqi police service will not tolerate behaviour ... that incites violence directed at any Iraqi citizen, government employee or the coalition forces."

At least 100 newspapers have sprung up in Iraq since the end of the war which toppled Saddam Hussein, according to the coalition.

The coalition official said no paper had been shut down before, adding the coalition had previously issued warnings to papers accused of incitement, but in the case of Al-Mustaqila, the newspaper was closed without warning.
