US poised to OK Egypt aid despite concerns
None
US officials say the Obama administration is preparing to approve the release of at least a portion of $1.5 billion in aid to Egypt despite its government not complying with conditions to receive the assistance.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton must soon determine if Egypt is meeting the criteria by supporting the country's transition to democracy and upholding human rights. The State Department said Friday that could happen as early as next week. (AP)
