Report: German-backed Arabic website blocked by Egypt

BERLIN (AP) — German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle says an Arabic-language news and culture website it operates has been blocked in Egypt. A spokesman for Deutsche Welle says the broadcaster received initial reports earlier in the week that the site, qantara.de , was unavailable to Egyptian internet users. Christoph Jumpelt told The Associated Press on Thursday that after conducting tests, Deutsche Welle concluded that the problem wasn't just a technical glitch. Qantara, which is also available in English and German, is intended as a platform for dialogue with the Islamic world.
