Jordan, Egypt to sign natural gas deal

None

Jordan's energy czar says his country will sign an agreement with Egypt next month to resume natural gas supplies.

 

Energy Minister Khaled Toukan says several attacks this year on Egypt's pipeline delivering the fuel may prompt Jordan to look for alternatives, but Jordan will now try to use Egyptian gas to meet its energy needs. Toukan said Sunday the agreement stipulates higher costs, but declined to say how much. (AP)
