..CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela's telecommunications agency has begun another investigation of the TV channel Globovision, this time for its coverage of a violent standoff at a prison.

National Telecommunications Commission director Pedro Maldonado says officials are looking at whether the channel violated a broadcast law by showing images that could generate anxiety or disorder.

He announced the investigation Thursday and showed some of the channel's footage from mid-June after troops stormed two prisons trying to disarm inmates.

Globovision takes a stridently critical stance of the government, and has been the subject of several government probes on such themes as its coverage of protests, an earthquake and remarks about President Hugo Chavez.
