The CEO of Press TV says the al-Qaeda and the Zionists act
in the same ways when it comes to committing crimes.
“The Zionists and the Americans, who are apparently the al-Qaeda’s enemies, have gone to the point that today their infantry, which is al-Qaeda, commits the same crimes that the Zionists did in Lebanon and Palestine,” Dr. Mohammad Sarafraz said in an interview with IRIB late Thursday.
Regarding the assassination of Press TV’s correspondent in Syria, Maya Nasser, Sarafraz said that Naser and his colleagues had received 'numerous death threats' months before his murder.
He said the Press TV and Al-Alam Damascus Bureau had received numerous threatening messages over the past few months, adding journalists working for the two Iranian news networks had been directly and repeatedly threatened with death.
Sarafraz said that such threats were part of Western efforts to block the free flow of news dissemination on the regional developments including what is going on in Syria.

"The enemy now targets the free flow of news
dissemination and anyone trying to express views that are different from the
enemies is either intimidated as part of the psychological warfare so that they
fail to do their job efficiently, or the threats are actually carried out and
the news person is assassinated,” the top IRIB official added.
