More from Egyptian Streets w/edit for style not content by me. "Updates from Egypt -- uneasy calm in Egypt as Ramadan commences: 1. US is forging ahead with plans to deliver four F-16 fighter Jets to Egypt by August, 2013. This comes after USA issued a statement it is still evaluating whether or not the toppling of former President Mohammed Morsi was a coup. If US decides the overthrow of Morsi was a coup, US military aid to Egypt would be cut. The planes are part 20 plane order - eight were sent to Egypt in January, 2013. 2. More trouble in the Sinai emerged after gunmen fired on the car of a Second Army Chief Ahmed Wasfy. He was inspecting the Sheikh Zewayed area in northern Sinai. A young girl caught in the line of fire died from her injuries in Al-Arish hospital. All assailants, except he driver of the car from which the militants were shooting from, escaped. Meanwhile, on the border with Israel, an Egyptian soldier was killed by drug traffickers as he attempted to stop them from crossing the border. 3. A late night march of approximately 600 Morsi supporters from Rabaa Al-Adaweya to the Presidential Palace in Itihadeya remained peaceful amid heavy security presence at the Palace. After a few hours of chanting against military rule and for the return of Morsi, protesters returned to Rabaa Al-Adaweya."
