NEW YORK - The United States and Egypt are negotiating a package of assistance to address what American officials described as a worsening security vacuum in the Sinai Peninsula, the New York Times reported Sunday.

Citing unnamed sources, the newspaper said Egypt under new President Mohammed Mursi’s leadership is now ready to discuss the proposed aid after previously rejecting it for fear it would appear to undermine its sovereignty, the newspaper said.
Discussions between the Pentagon and Cairo’s military leaders began following last week’s terror attack in Sinai.
According to the Times, the Pentagon is discussing a variety of options for sharing intelligence with Egypt’s military and police in Sinai. They include intercepts of cellphone or radio conversations of militants suspected of plotting attacks.
