Turkish News Agency Says Staff Members Detained in Cairo

Associated Press

   ANKARA, TURKEY - Turkey's state-run news agency said Wednesday that
   Egyptian police raided its office in Cairo and detained four of its
   staff members.

   Anadolu Agency said it had no information on where its employees,
   including one Turkish citizen, were taken to following the raid late
   Tuesday. The Turkish citizen is in charge of the office's finances and
   management.

   Egyptian security forces shut down the agency's security cameras and
   internet and searched the premise overnight, the agency reported. The
   workers' passports, cell phones and computers were confiscated, it
   said, adding that no explanation was given to the agency's lawyer.
