Egyptian Military Raids Al Jazeera

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.
