Al-Jazeera banned with 3 other channels

A Cairo court orders taking Al-Jazeera Mubashir Misr off air.

The ruling by administrative court also orders three other channels seen as linked to Islamists to be taken off the Egyptian airwaves, the court says in a faxed statement Tuesday morning.

Other channels affected are Yarmouk, Al-Quds and Ahrar 25.

Egyptian officials had earlier said Al Jazeera Mubasher Misr posed a threat to national security.
