al-Arabiya launches news site in English!

As of August this year - that is, like, now! - the Arabic news portal al-Arabiya is also available in English. They’ve decided to become an Arabic voice in the English-speaking parts of the world, presenting news both International and Middle Eastern.

I’m all eager to follow their slant on International top stories, and find out how they maneouvre in the hotbed of their own backyard. Up here we could sure use a few more local angles from down there.

I’ve added a link in the news section of my blogroll. Use it!
