BBC News - Egypt unrest: US to go ahead with F-16 jets delivery
It comes as Washington is continuing to evaluate last week's overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi by the army.
US massive military aid to Cairo would have to be cut by law
if the removal of the Islamist leader is determined by Washington to
have been a coup.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which backs Mr Morsi, is demanding his reinstatement.
Its supporters have been staging mass protests near Cairo's
barracks, where he is believed to be being held. On Monday, more than 50
Brotherhood loyalists were killed in clashes with the army.
The new authorities have not said where Mr Morsi it, but a
foreign ministry spokesman said he was in a "safe place" and being
treated in a "very dignified manner".
