Al-Jazeera journalist freed from jail

Al-Jazeera journalist Peter Greste was released from a Cairo jail on Sunday and left Egypt after 400 days in prison on charges that included aiding a terrorist group, security officials said.

There was no official word on the fate of his two Al-Jazeera colleagues - Canadian-Egyptian Mohammed Fahmy and Egyptian citizen Baher Mohammed - who were also jailed in a case that provoked an international outcry.

The three were sentenced to between seven and 10 years on charges including spreading lies to help a terrorist organization - a reference to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.
