Baghdad Webcam?
by Elonka at 6:53 pm EST, Mar 11, 2003

] Kamal Qubeisi reported that Iraq has been showing
] mounting interest in public opinion following the
] anti-war demonstrations in various cities around the
] world. Therefore, Iraq started as of February 18, 2003
] "to implement a project called 'WebCam in Iraq' which
] places cameras in various areas in Baghdad to transmit,
] via the Internet to millions of viewers in five
] continents, scenes of everyday life in the Iraqi capital.

I'd love to see this webcam, but haven't had any luck in finding a link to it! If anyone else knows the URL, please post it?

I also poked around to find out who or what "Kamal Qubeisi" is. My guess is that it's "Kamal Kobeissi", a reporter for the London-based Arabic-language paper "Asharq Al-Awsat". I'm also going to try writing to him, to see if he can offer any assistance!
His pic and (Arabic language) info is here:
