            Egypt Temporary Leadership Names Interim Prime Minister

   by Reuters

   Egypt's interim president on Tuesday named liberal economist and former
   finance minister Hazem el-Beblawi as prime minister in a transitional
   government, as the authorities sought to steer the country to new
   parliamentary and presidential elections.

   Acting head of state Adli Mansour also appointed former U.N. nuclear
   agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei as deputy to the president, responsible
   for foreign affairs.

   The hardline Islamist Nour Party, which has held up the political
   process by objecting to several candidates put forward by
   military-backed interim authorities, said it would support Beblawi's
   appointment. The head of the party added that it was still studying
   ElBaradei's appointment.
