White House condemns Egyptian military crackdown
None
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the Egyptian military's bloody weekend crackdown on demonstrators, in which 80 people were gunned down in Cairo, sets back the process of democratization in Egypt and does not square with the interim government's pledge to swiftly return to civilian rule.
But asked if the violence would prompt the United States to suspend aid to Egypt's military, Earnest said: "I don't have any change in our posture to report to you today." He said aid is under review, as it has been since Egypt's military takeover on July 3. (Reuters)
