| Egypt won't take part in war on terror |
| 2001-10-04 |
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said Thursday that his country will not take part in any US-led military action against international terrorism. Egypt "supports the fight against terrorism but will not take part with troops," he said. The president said US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who was due in Egypt later the same day, was not seeking Egypt's military participation in the war on terrorism. "He is not coming to ask for troops. He is coming for an exchange of points of view on events in the region," Mubarak said in a meeting with Egyptian army officers, in comments broadcast on television. |
