Paper: Egyptian publisher sacks dissident editor
Egypt's leading independent newspaper says its mogul publisher has fired the daily's chief editor, known as an outspoken government critic.
The development comes amid growing uncertainty over Egypt's political future, reports of an intensifying media crackdown and constant speculation about 82-year-old President Hosni Mubarak's health. Al-Dostor reported on its website early Tuesday that media mogul and pro-opposition publisher Elseyed el-Badawi fired the paper's editor Ibrahim Eissa. (AP)
