Egypt's state news agency says the trial of 43 people including 19 Americans in a politically charged case against foreign-funded groups will begin Feb. 26.
The investigation has caused the deepest crisis in American-Egyptian relations in decades. American officials say it could hinder more than $1 billion in US aid. Egyptian authorities have blasted what they call US interference in legal affairs. (AP)
