aljazeera international Channel
Al Jazeera, meaning "The
Island" is a television network headquartered in
Doha, Qatar. Al Jazeera initially launched as an
Arabic news and current affairs satellite TV
channel of the same name, but has since expanded
into a network of several specialty TV channels.
The original Al Jazeera channel's willingness to
broadcast dissenting views, including on call-in
shows, created controversies in Arab Gulf States
and the United States. The station gained
worldwide attention following the September 11,
2001 attacks, when it broadcast video statements
by Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaeda leaders
for Al Jazeera
