Well here’s another story no one saw coming, except 99% of conservatives. An Al Jazeera bureau chief has been placed on the U.S. terror list after being identified as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
From the Telegraph:
US authorities placed an Al Jazeera journalist on a watch list of suspected terrorists, linking him to al-Qaeda, a report said Friday, citing documents provided by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
The online news site The Intercept said Al Jazeera’s Islamabad bureau chief, Ahmad Muaffaq Zaidan, was on a terror watch list, and was described in the National Security Agency documents as “a member” of both Al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Zaidan told The Intercept he “absolutely” denied being part of the organisations, while noting that he had through his work conducted interviews with senior al-Qaeda leaders including Osama bin Laden.
Responding to the report, the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists said it was “deeply troubled” by the allegations.
I wonder if Al Gore might have met with this guy when he sold his channel to them?
