Qatar says prisoners release key to resolving Egypt's crisis

DOHA (Reuters) - Egypt must release jailed Muslim Brotherhood leaders to help resolve a political crisis following the overthrow of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi, Qatar's foreign minister said on Wednesday.

Khaled al-Attiya, who has been trying to mediate an end to the political turmoil in Egypt, returned on Wednesday after several days in Cairo and complained he had not been able to meet all the parties he had been promised to see.
