WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is "quite concerned" about Israel's shutdown of Al Jazeera's operations in the country, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Monday, a day after Israeli authorities raided a Jerusalem hotel room used as the TV station's local office.

Washington thinks Qatari-owned Al Jazeera ought to be able to operate in Israel, Miller added.
