US withholds Egypt military aid over crackdown


The US is suspending a large part of the $1.3bn (£810m) in aid it gives to Egypt's military.
The delivery of large-scale military systems as well as cash assistance to the Egyptian government would be withheld, said the state department.
It said "credible progress" must be made towards free and fair elections.
