KUWAIT CITY (AFP) - Kuwait on Thursday closed private television station Al-Youm, which backs the opposition, for allegedly failing to meet administrative conditions, the government said. “The information ministry has scrapped the licence of a satellite station for violating the terms of the licence and after failing to meet a deadline to rectify its situation in line with the law,” the ministry said. Al-Youm chairman Ahmad Al-Jabr confirmed to AFP via an SMS text message that the satellite channel had received orders to shut, and the station went off the air immediately.
