Reuters Bars CNN

The Iraqi authorities have ordered Reuters news agency to bar CNN from using its Baghdad news feed.

Although CNN can still use audio material from Reuters, pictures are marked "NO ACCESS CNN".

The news agency reluctantly agreed to prevent the rolling news network from using its news feed after CNN staff were expelled from Baghdad.

A Reuters spokesman said: "They've threatened the safety of our journalists if we provide material to CNN, so that puts guys on the ground in a fairly hairy position."
