Some News Crews Opt to Stay in Iraq
<i> Associated Press</i>
NEW YORK —
NBC and CNN said Friday that their news crews will stay in Baghdad as long as they’re allowed to, despite the evacuation of foreigners from the Iraqi capital.
CBS was considering the matter, and ABC would not comment.
An estimated 200 Americans, including 40 journalists, remained in Baghdad on Friday, four days before the Jan. 15 deadline for Iraq to leave Kuwait or face attack from a U.S.-led military alliance.
NBC has six people in Baghdad, and Cable News Network has seven.
