CNN.com - U.S.: Al-Jazeera bomb story 'outlandish' - Nov 22, 2005: "Top Bush administration officials, particularly Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, have been sharply critical of Al-Jazeera in the past.
When U.S. troops went back into Falluja in November 2004, Rumsfeld called the network's account of civilian casualties during the American push to retake the city 'outrageous nonsense' and 'vicious, inaccurate and inexcusable.'
An Al-Jazeera reporter was killed and three other employees were wounded by an American airstrike during the U.S. push into Baghdad in 2003.
American bombs struck the network's Kabul office during the U.S. assault on Afghanistan in 2001.
During the 1999 air campaign over Kosovo, U.S. warplanes targeted Yugoslavia's state television network. NATO officials argued it was a legitimate target as the propaganda arm of the Yugoslav government."
