US approves $1.5 billions in aid to Mubarak’s regime
From the World Tribune:
Congress has approved $1.5 billion in U.S. military and civilian aid to Egypt for fiscal 2009, which begins in October. The figure marked a 12 percent reduction from U.S. aid to Egypt in 2008, when Cairo received $1.71 billion.
Congressional sources said the U.S. military aid would be dependent on improvements in Egyptian security cooperation with Israel as well as Cairo’s human rights record.
