Egypt Extends Jailing of Al Jazeera Journalists 
------------------------------------------------


 
Egypt has extended the imprisonment of three Al Jazeera journalists for
at least 15 days. Correspondent Peter Greste and producers Mohamed Fahmy
and Baher Mohamed were arrested last month on accusations of "spreading
false news" and holding meetings with the Muslim Brotherhood. Two other
Al Jazeera journalists, Mohamed Badr and Abdullah Al Shami, have been
detained for months.
