CAIRO (AP) -- Al-Jazeera's English-language news network says one of its correspondents has been detained by the Egyptian military in Cairo.

The report says Ayman Mohyeldin, an American citizen, was taken Sunday from Tahrir Square where protests calling for the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak continue into their 13th day.

Since last week there has been a crackdown against Egyptian and foreign journalists covering the nearly two-week crisis and dozens have been detained, sometimes overnight.

One journalist, an Egyptian reporter, has been killed, dying Friday of gunshot wounds.
