Saudi prince fires director of Islamic TV channel

Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has fired the director of an Islamic TV channel for his role as the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Kuwait. He wrote Sunday on his Twitter account that he sacked Tarek Al-Suwaidan "for admitting he belongs to the Brotherhood terrorist movement."

Al-Suwaidan has sharply criticized Egypt's military-backed government and voiced support for deposed President Mohamed Morsi on his Twitter account. (AP)
