The president of Pakistan's cable TV association says operators have blocked BBC World News because of a documentary critical of the country's commitment to fighting Islamist militants. Khalid Arain says the decision was implemented Tuesday after the network showed the documentary, ``Secret Pakistan,' on November 23.
The BBC says on its website that the two-part documentary explores accusations by CIA officials and western diplomats that Pakistan is failing to live up to its commitments in the war on terror. The US and other countries have criticised Pakistan for refusing to target Afghan insurgents using its territory to attack Nato troops in Afghanistan. Tensions are especially high after Nato airstrikes accidentally killed 24 Pakistani soldiers Saturday.
