Egypt's military renews pledge to step down
None
Egypt's ruling military council is committed to handing over power to a civilian administration by July 1 as it promised, one of the council's senior members said Thursday.
The announcement came a day after deadly clashes between protesters and assailants left at least 11 dead in Cairo, prompting some politicians to voice fears that the military might use the violence as a pretext to ignore its own deadline to relinquish control of the country. (AP)
