Pakistan Blocks YouTube

Pakistan blocked access to YouTube this week:

An inter-ministerial committee has decided to block YouTube because it contained "blasphemous content, videos and documents," a government official told Agence France-Presse. "The site will remain blocked till further orders."

The decision means Pakistanis will no longer be able to view videos like this one--a tour through an arms market in northwest Pakistan. UPDATE: The ban has been lifted.
