Egyptian authorities have ordered an award-winning Australian journalist and two other reporters working for Al-Jazeera television to be detained for two weeks on suspicion of "disturbing public security", a judicial source says.

Their arrests on Sunday came amid a widening crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood of ousted president Mohamed Morsi, which the military-installed government declared a "terrorist" group last week.
