The station had run reports of infighting among Ahlu-Sunna Wal Jama&#8217;a leaders.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Armed groups on all sides of the conflict must stop using the media as pawns,&#8221; said CPJ East Africa Consultant Tom Rhodes. &#8220;Both groups involved in Wednesday&#8217;s attacks should allow journalists to return to work and the stations to resume their normal broadcasting immediately.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dhusa Mareb Radio has been targeted by anti-government forces as well.
