WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The administration of President Barack Obama, in a
surprise move, has suspended the delivery of F-16 multi-role fighters to
Egypt.
The Defense Department said it suspended plans to deliver four F-16
Block 50 fighters to Egypt, meant to have taken place in August. The
Pentagon cited massive unrest in wake of the military's ouster of Egypt's
first Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi.
