Iraq's commission governing media announces that it will take steps to revoke the license of a Saudi television station to operate in the country. That came hours after dozens of supporters of Iraqi militias stormed and looted the office of the broadcaster, MBC, in Baghdad in protest over a report that described a number of Iranian-linked militant figures -- including a prominent Iraqi militia leader -- as 'terrorists.' Iraq's Media and Communications Commission says in a statement that MBC had violated the country's broadcasting regulations and that it will order its executive office to cancel the station's work license.
