*U.S. Army 'Jammed' Swiss and French Satellites*
AP
Published: 25/03/2007 / 12:00 AM (U.A.E.)
Bern -- The U.S. Army mistakenly jammed the satellite signal of a
number of news
organisations earlier this year -- including the French and Swiss
national news
agencies -- in an attempt to shut down an Iraqi TV station,
according to a Swiss
newspaper.
Daily Tages-Anzeiger reported in yesterday's edition that the
incident occurred
on January 23 and lasted about 24 hours, affecting a large number
of radio,
television and internet services, including those of Agence France
Presse (AFP)
and its Swiss counterpart Schweizerische Depeschagentur (S.D.A.).
An internal S.D.A. memo states that "the loss of all transmission
signals via the
Eutelsat satellite was caused by a mistaken attack by the US Army".
Tages-Anzeiger says the reason for the mistake may have been a
report in The
Washington Post two days before the incident, in which the owner of
Iraqi
satellite channel Al Zawraa is cited saying his station would start
broadcasting
via Eutelsat "in 48 hours".
In fact, Al Zawraa, a Sunni station which broadcasts pictures of
insurgent
attacks on U.S. and Iraqi forces, never broadcast on the Hot Bird 8
satellite,
although another station with a similar name did.
