<a href="http://english.aljazeera.net">English version</a> of the
<a href="http://www.aljazeera.net">Al-Jazeera website</a>
in the form of a <acronym title="Distributed Denial of Service Attack">DDoS</a>
attack has knocked the
<a href="http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=59685&group=webcast">days

There are some
<a href="http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=59747&group=webcast">unofficial
Al Jazeerah sites</a> and other english language news sites in the region like
<a href="http://english.daralhayat.com/">Dar Al Hayat</a> are still avaliable,
and the <a href="http://www.indymedia.org/">Global IMC site</a> has a article on
