U.S., Egypt Resume Formal Security Talks with Kerry Visit
(AP-Washington Post) Matthew Lee - Despite persistent human rights concerns, the U.S. on Sunday resumed formal security talks with Egypt that were last held six years ago. Two days after the U.S. delivered eight F-16 planes to Egypt to help it counter an increasing terrorist threat, Secretary of State John Kerry restarted the "strategic dialogue" with Egyptian officials in Cairo. Kerry noted that the U.S. had also provided Egypt with Apache helicopters, attack boats, armored vehicles and other weapons systems this year.
