Al Urubah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Al Urubah was a pro-Muammar Gaddafi Libyan television station. Following the fall of Tripoli in August, 2011, it broadcast messages from the deposed leader and his information minister, Moussa Ibrahim.[1] The station's logo also temporarily appeared on Syria's Arrai TV Television's transmissions.[2] The owner of Arrai TV, Iraqi expatriate businessman Mish'an al-Juburi, described Al Urubah as "the sister of Arrai TV channel", but also stated that it broadcast from an undisclosed Arab state other than Syria.[3] The station has been off the air since late August 2011.[4]
