Britain’s Independent newspaper reported 28 May that Jasseem Alli, the chief executive of the Al-Jazeera Arabic television news service, is to return to his post with Qatar television. Qatar TV owns Al-Jazeera.
Mr Alli has spent eight years in the job at al-Jazeera. The report quoted a spokesman as saying that Mr Allis return was unconnected with documents procured by British intelligence services in Baghdad which had appeared to link him with Iraqi intelligence services.
