AFP: An Al-Jazeera journalist on retrial in Egypt has sued his Qatari employer for $100 million, his lawyers said, claiming the satellite network was negligent and supported blacklisted Islamists. Canadian Mohamed Fahmy and two other Al-Jazeera journalists were sentenced last year to up to 10 years in prison on charges of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood movement in its coverage of mass protests that led to the ouster of president Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.
