**** Interruption in service: April 8-9 ****

Service was interrupted when the webhosting company (HostSave) shut the main server www.aljazeerah.info down, because of the millions of hits a day. However, the limited server of www.aljazeerah.us continued but with more interruption, particularly after April 16, 2003. It is hoped that full service will resume before the end of April, when technical details are worked out.
