                 Merkel: Germany, EU to Review Ties with Egypt

   by Reuters

   German Chancellor Angela Merkel said after speaking with French
   President Francois Hollande by phone on Friday that Germany would
   review its ties with Egypt, and both she and Hollande felt the European
   Union should do the same.

   A statement released by Merkel's office said, "the chancellor explained
   that in view of the latest developments, the German government would
   review its relations with Egypt."

   "She agreed with the [French] President that the European Union should
   also undertake a comprehensive review of its relations with Egypt," the
   statement said.

   The leaders spoke two days after an assault by security forces on
   Muslim Brotherhood protesters that killed hundreds.
