Egyptian Islamist groups seek truce
None
Top leaders of two of Egypt's former militant groups are offering an initiative to halt bloodshed, in which Islamists will stop street protests if the government stops its crackdown on them.
The initiative announced by leaders of Egypt's Gamaa Islamiya and Islamic Jihad movements, which waged an insurgency in the 1990s, aims to bring dialogue between the military and the Muslim Brotherhood, from which ousted President Mohamed Morsi hails. (AP)
