DebkaFile, dedicated to Mid-East conflicts and terrorism, is based in Israel: www.debka.com

The influential Al-Jazeera has an English language website: http://english.aljazeera.net/

For a perspective from Iraq’s Kurdish minority, go to Kurdish Life: www.kurdishdaily.com/

The Middle East Media Research Institute is the best source of translations from Arab language press: www.memri.org

The Guardian in the UK is very good: www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/
