The Emirates' official news agency says two journalists have been charged with publishing an incorrect report. The charges announced late Sunday by state news agency WAM follow last year's adoption of a media law that includes stiff fines for journalists in this Gulf country.
WAM says the Abu Dhabi attorney general's office charged two newspaper reporters with ``publishing false information' that defendants in a fraud case involving the Central Bank had been exonerated. The case is ongoing. WAM says the attorney general is considering a subpoena for the chief editors of the papers the journalists work for. It didn't name the papers or the journalists involved.
