<BR />Iraq's interior ministry has decided to bar news photographers and camera operators from the scenes of bomb attacks, operations director Brigadier General Abdel Karim Khalaf said on Sunday (local time). </P><P class="wallacepara">
His announcement was the latest in a series of attempts to curtail press coverage of the ongoing conflict, which has already attracted criticism from international human rights bodies. </P><P class="wallacepara">
"There are many reasons for this prohibition," he said.</P><P class="wallacepara">
"We do not want evidence to be disturbed before the arrival of detectives, the ministry must respect human rights and does not want to expose victims and does not want to give terrorists information that they achieved their goals.</P><P class="wallacepara">
"This decision does not imply a curtailment of press freedom, it is a measure followed all over the world."</P><P class="wallacepara">
International and local media coverage of Iraq's deadly sectarian conflict generates dozens of images and reports of carnage every day, as insurgent bomb attacks continue. </P><P class="wallacepara">
