Egyptian authorities have arrested a journalist who worked for Al-Jazeera for allegedly inciting and taking part in violence, the country's official news agency reported.
The Mena report said Abdel-Rahman Shaheen, detained in the Suez Canal area, was suspected of taking part and inciting attacks against police, including torching security vehicles. Quoting an unnamed security official, the agency said Shaheen had nine arrest warrants against him over alleged violent attacks.
The report identified him as a journalist who worked for the Muslim Brotherhood's now-banned newspaper and television station, as well as Doha-based Al-Jazeera.
Egypt's government declared the Brotherhood a terrorist. More than 1,600 are currently detained, facing trials on various charges.
Three of Al-Jazeera's English service journalists are being tried on terrorism-related charges.
No one is above the law, and Journalist ought to be more careful in reporting in a poor country, and uneducated masses. It may be hazardous.
