Iran jamming Al Jazeera broadcasts

Iran is jamming broadcasts by Qatari-based news channel Al Jazeera, Reuters cites a document from satellite operator Arabsat as saying. The broadcaster says it believes it was because of its coverage of Syria.

Interference is coming from two locations in Iran, one west of Tehran and the other near the northwestern city of Maraghen, the document shows.

The TV channel believes that other channels in the region have also been jammed.
