Kuwaiti authorities have closed down the office of the 
Al Jazeera news channel in Kuwait City.  
 
In a statement, Kuwait's ministry on Information described Al Jazeera's coverage as "intervention in a Kuwaiti domestic issue".

It follows a police crackdown on Wednesday in which four Kuwaiti MPs and at least a dozen others were injured.
