Al Jazeera banned from covering Egypt events

Al Jazeera banned from covering Egypt events:

"BREAKING NEWS: Al Jazeera, the leading news network covering the ongoing protests in Egypt aimed at ousting President Hosni Mubarak from power, has been banned from reporting from inside the country, it said at around 11 am Cairo time on Sunday. However, their reporters told followers interested in news from the country, said they would not stop reporting on the demonstrations and security situation inside the country.

“Don’t worry we’ll still report what’s happening in Egypt no matter what new restrictions they put on us,” wrote one Al Jazeera correspondent Dan Nolan on his Twitter account.

It comes after five days of valiant reporting from its staff, who have been the leading network on all things Egypt during the unrest. They have reporters across the country and their 24-hour news cycle has focused almost exclusively on the country.

It is unclear whether other networks will suffer the same fate. Still the network continues to report as much as they can, even as Egyptian security attempts to take equipment from their personnel in the field."
