Al-Jazeera television has met Zimbabwe government representatives to discuss the opening of a bureau in the capital.
The Qatar-based broadcaster is preparing to launch a new international channel later this year, and is setting up new bureaux throughout the world.
State media in Zimbabwe reported al-Jazeera officials had met Information Minister Tichaona Jakonya. The outcome of the talks is not known.
Zimbabwe has imprisoned or expelled critical journalists in recent years.

Sources in al-Jazeera confirmed two representatives had been in Harare for talks about possible plans to cover news in Zimbabwe.
Many international media organisations, including the BBC, have had their correspondents expelled from Zimbabwe.
Most independent local media have been shut down by the government.

The stats say that the muslim population of that country is less than 1%

Why would that station go there? To flood africans with news about Iraq, Iran and Palestine and make THAT their cause? I find it troubling.

But then. No more so than the BBC or FOX and them. Same thing really. Not relevant to Africa.
