Murr Seeks Egyptian Weapons
Defense Minister Elias Murr headed to Cairo on Tuesday for talks with Egyptian officials on possible military assistance to the Lebanese Army.
His visit to Cairo coincides with talks held in the Egyptian capital by Mustaqbal Movement leader Saad Hariri.
Hariri said Murr would discuss in Cairo the topic of Egyptian assistance to the Lebanese Army.
Hariri had set the stage for Russian military assistance that was declared during a visit by Murr to Moscow, which included 10 MIG29 jet fighters.
