Egyptian PM Makes Landmark Visit to Iran 
-----------------------------------------


 
Egyptian President Mohammad Mursi has arrived in Tehran for the first
visit by an Egyptian leader since the Islamic revolution of 1979. Mursi
is attending the ongoing summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, which
concludes on Friday. Addressing the summit earlier today, Mursi prompted
a walkout by the Syrian delegation when he called for solidarity with
the uprising against the Assad regime.
