US reverses decision to honor Egyptian woman

The State Department had said Samira Ibrahim, an Egyptian activist who was subjected to a "virginity test" after protesting in Cairo's Tahrir Square, would be among recipients of an International Women of Courage award presented by Secretary of State John Kerry and first lady Michelle Obama on Friday.

Now the State Department says she won't be honored Friday because of anti-American and anti-Semitic comments on her Twitter account. (AP)
