'''The Incident:''' In July 2003, the CPA and Iraqi police closed the offices of the Baghdad bi-weekly paper, al Mustaqilla. Authorities accused the paper of writing that could incite violence against the Coalition forces. One remark in the paper read, "those who cooperate with the Americans should be killed as a matter of patriotic and religious duty." According to a CPA spokesperson, the Iraqi police decided to close the paper, as it breached mass media and international law. <P> | '''The Incident:''' In July 2003, the CPA and Iraqi police closed the offices of the Baghdad bi-weekly paper, ''al Mustaqilla''.
