Egypt and U.S. to hold military exercises

Egypt will host war games with U.S. troops this month for the first time in eight years, though the American contingent will be much smaller than in previous exercises, officials said Tuesday, according to The Associated Press.

Col. Tamer el-Rifai, a spokesman for the Egyptian army, said the 10-day military exercises, known as "Bright Star," would begin September 10 and include anti-terrorism training.
