Al Jazeera Takes Legal Action Against Egypt for Media Crackdown 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Broadcaster Al Jazeera says it is taking legal action in international
courts against Egypt's government for raiding its offices, jamming its
signals, confiscating equipment and detaining reporters. Earlier this
month, an Egyptian court ordered Al Jazeera's local affiliate and other
stations to stop broadcasting amid a campaign against outlets seen as
sympathetic to ousted President Mohamed Morsi.
