A Qatari newspaper on Wednesday expected Egyptian authorities to release three Al Jazeera reporters – now in jail in Egypt – through a presidential amnesty.

Qatari newspaper Al-Arab quoted unnamed Egyptian sources as saying that Cairo would offer the three journalists – Egyptian-Canadian Mohamed Fahmi, Australian Peter Greste and Egyptian Baher Mohamed – in a presidential pardon.
