Two US officials say that Egyptian defense leaders, who ousted President Mohammed Morsi today, have assured the US that they are not interested in a long-term rule.
The official says the leaders, in calls with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, pledged to put a civilian government in place quickly.
