Two Al-Jazeera journos detained in NE Nigeria

Nigeria's military has detained two Al-Jazeera television journalists in the country's northeast, where troops have been battling Boko Haram militants. Defence spokesman Chris Olukolade said the pair were "found to have been loitering around areas where military operations are ongoing in the northeast and have been restrained in Maiduguri". The statement, posted on Twitter and the military's website on Wednesday, identified the journalists as Ahmed Idris and Mustafa Andy.
