Leading coverage of Egypt in the foreign press:<\/strong> Some 50 US lawmakers have signed a letter<\/a> urging Egypt to release what they call prisoners of conscience.

Finally: An Egyptian has broken the Guinness World Record for the oldest professional<\/strong> football player<\/strong>, reports Reuters<\/a>. 75-year-old Ezz El Din Bahader broke the record previously held by 73-year-old Israeli goalkeeper Isaak Hayik.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
