(Telecompaper) Kuwait is planning to create an independent television and radio organisation to compete on the international stage, in what could be seen as a challenge to Qatar's Al Jazeera network. According to state news agency KUNA, the new station would have freedom from government interference. The statement comes after the government revoked the citizenship of eighteen opponents, including Ahmed Jabr Al Shammari, who ran a privately owned television channel and newspapers that gave space to opposition figures and anti-government points of view.
