U.S. to deliver Apache helicopters to Egypt

The United States said on Tuesday it will deliver 10 Apache attack helicopters to Egypt, relaxing a partial suspension of military aid, to help Egypt's counter-terrorism operations in the Sinai Peninsula.
No other military aid beyond the Apaches, built by Boeing Co., is going to be freed up at the moment. That meant that delivery of other hardware, like F-16 fighter jets, remains on hold.
The move to free up the delivery of the Apaches underscores the importance that Washington places on ties with Egypt, which for decades has been among the largest recipients of U.S. military and economic aid.
