Al-Jazeera TV Omits Bin Laden's Saudi-Bashing

The Syrian opposition website Al-Haqiqa reports that the Qatari television network Al-Jazeera omitted lengthy sections from a recent video of statements by Osama bin Laden in which the Al-Qaeda leader slammed Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar have agreed that Al-Jazeera would not broadcast anything harming Saudi Arabia in exchange for Qatar's opening an Al-Jazeera office in Saudi Arabia as well as for closer relations between the two countries.
