2 Al-Jazeera journalists freed from prison

Two Al-Jazeera journalists were released from an Egyptian prison on Friday, after spending more than a year behind bars on terror-related charges in a case denounced as a sham by rights groups and the international community.

The two - Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohammed - were freed pending a retrial.

The network said by midday that they had been reunited with their families in Cairo.
