Khaleej Times reports that Al Jazeera news channel has been given permission to reopen its bureau in Baghdad after it has been banned for more than six years for charges that it was provoking violence by militant groups, according to AFP. “No restrictions have been placed on them, only what applies to all media in Iraq, not to provoke conflict. It is now a procedural matter as to when they re-open their bureau,” according to an official speaking on condition of anonymity.
