The US has called on the current Egyptian leadership to stop “arbitrary” arrests of members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
"The only way this is going to work successfully... is if all parties are encouraged and allowed to participate and that's why we've made clear that arbitrary arrests are not anything that we can support,'' White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
The US has said it will continue to provide aid to Egypt, refusing to call the deposing of President Mursi by the army a coup. However officials have not confirmed reports that suggested the US would go ahead with a delivery of fighter jets.
