U.S. to deliver F-16 fighters to Egypt despite recent upheaval

“The United States is pressing ahead with plans to deliver four F-16 fighters to Egypt despite a military coup against President Mohammed Morsi.  ‘It’s still the status quo,’ the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AFP. There was no decision to halt the scheduled transfer of the warplanes or to cut off other security assistance to Egypt, the official said, even though the US government has announced a review of all aid to Cairo.  The State Department said previously planned assistance would continue to flow to Egypt. ‘We’re still paying our bills, of course, and all of the programs are still moving forward,’ spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters.”
