CAIRO - A Cairo court on Thursday adjourned the retrial of Al Jazeera television journalists, charged with aiding a terrorist organization, to June 25 for further closing statements from the defense team.

The charge refers to the Muslim Brotherhood, which was outlawed in Egypt after the army ousted Islamist president Mohamed Mursi during mass protests against his rule in 2013.
