Egypt Says it's Probing Death of Imprisoned US Citizen

Associated Press

   CAIRO, EGYPT - Egypt said Tuesday it would investigate the death in
   custody of a U.S. citizen who had gone on a hunger strike as part of a
   six-year battle against what he insisted was wrongful imprisonment.

   Mustafa Kassem, 54, an Egyptian-born auto parts dealer from Long
   Island, New York, died late Monday of heart failure after a hunger
   strike he began last year, his lawyers said.
