Panetta: US to provide additional aid in Sinai
None
US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta revealed that the US is providing additional military assistance to peacekeeping forces in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula in order to strengthen security in the region. But he said that so far the Pentagon has not moved to send additional US troops to the Sinai. A truck-mounted tracking system sent to the Sinai will allow troops to follow friendly forces.
"We just want to make sure that we know how those forces are deployed in order to insure that we can more effectively go after those terrorists that would try to create an incident or terrorist act," Panetta said. (AP)
