|
 By Edward McAllister, Luciana Lopez and Alana Wise CHARLESTON, South Carolina (Reuters) - Hundreds of people packed a sweltering Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston on Sunday as it reopened to worshipers after a gunman, identified by authorities as a 21-year-old white man, shot dead nine black church members. A mostly black congregation swelled to about 400 people for a memorial service remembering those killed on Wednesday in the latest U.S. mass shooting, some wiping away tears and praying as the organ began to play. Armed police searched bags at the door of the church, home to the oldest African-American congregation in the southern United States, and officers stood at intervals inside the church along the side of the nave and in the gallery.

| By Ali Abdelaty and Ahmed Aboulenein CAIRO (Reuters) - A high-profile Al Jazeera journalist arrested in Germany at the request of Egypt said he expected to soon face a judge who would decide whether or not to extradite him, in a case likely to raise fresh questions about Cairo's crackdown on dissent. Ahmed Mansour, a leading talk show host on the channel's Arabic service, was arrested in Germany on Saturday. Egypt accuses Al Jazeera of being a mouthpiece of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Qatar-backed Islamist movement which President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi toppled in 2013 when he was army chief and accuses of being a terrorist group. |
