BAGHDAD, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Iraq
has suspended Saudi Arabian state-owned broadcasters Al-Hadath TV and Al
Arabiya, Al-Hadath said on Saturday, amid renewed anti-government
protests that saw scores killed over two days in clashes with security
forces and militia groups.
"The Iraqi government suspends the work of Al-Hadath and Al Arabiya,"
Al-Hadath TV said on its news ticker while it carried footage of the
protests.
Over 60 people were killed on Friday and Saturday.
