Reuters is reporting that Egyptian "security forces" have raided the offices of Al Jazeera in Cairo after the ouster of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Karim El-Assiuti told Reuters his colleagues at the Al Jazeera Mubasher Misr channel were arrested while working in the studio. The station was prevented from broadcasting from a pro-Mursi rally and its crew there was also detained, he said.
The Egyptian arm of the Qatari-owned media company began broadcasting after the 2011 uprising that topped President Hosni Mubarak and has been accused by critics of being sympathetic to Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood.

I have to say I didn’t like that, because it gives credence to Allah as a valid name for God.
Did Soledad get caught up in the raid?
You mean let Iran, Russia and China fund them. (Which they’ve been doing the whole time, but in order to damage that funding source, we have to cut off business and diplomatic ties with two on that list.)
There’s a little good in everyone.
LSS it, Let Satan Sort
I’ll bet that the New York Times has an office there....just saying.
More honesty AND accountability here
than with the entire DO”J”, MSM, and Congress.
If THIS script were written 10 years ago, the author
would be thought ‘nuts’.
Nothing wrong with shutting down something that spews lies and evil.
Actually, I only watch that channel for the foreign cop shows in the evening.
Off topic but have you ever watched Karachi Cops? It was on LINK right after 9/11. I haven’t seen it on for some time.
This gets better all the time...
