Iraq has banned long-time CNN bureau chief Jane Arraf from the country, the news network said on Thursday.
Three other CNN journalists have already been banned from the country; its Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour, along with Wolf Blitzer and Richard Roth.
CNN says Arraf will keep her title as Baghdad bureau chief while they appeal the ban. The news network is reporting that no reason was given for Arraf's ban, but Iraqi officials have reportedly complained that CNN's Iraq reporting was "biased and offensive".
Eason Jordon, CNN's newsgathering chief, says that the network will continue to maintain a bureau in Baghdad headed by Senior Producer Ingrid Formanek, with Nic Robertson and Rym Brahimi reporting from the Iraqi capital.
