LONDON - The head of the pan-Arab news channel Al Jazeera on Saturday called for the contents of an alleged memo, in which US President George W. Bush reportedly suggests the bombing of the station’s Qatar headquarters, to be made public.
Station Director General Wadah Khanfar has also demanded talks with British Prime Minister Tony Blair over the issue. The memo, leaked by a British civil servant, allegedly includes a transcript of Blair attempting to persuade Bush against such an action.
“We demand a proper explanation and we would like to know the facts,” Khanfar told BBC 4 radio. “We have demanded an urgent interview (with Blair).”
