More than 2,400 Americans seek Egypt evacuation

The State Department says more than 2,400 Americans have contacted US officials seeking government-chartered evacuation flights from Egypt. It says more than 220 have already left on the special flights and more are scheduled.

The department said it expects to evacuate about 900 US citizens from Egypt on Monday and another 1,000 on Tuesday as anti-government protests continue to roil the country. It says those wishing to take the flights from Cairo to Cyprus, Greece or Turkey should prepare for lengthy waits at the airport and that they should bring food, water and other necessities. (AP)
