‘NINE MONTHS OF HELL’
Elizabeth Smart, who in 2002 was kidnapped
from her home outside of Salt Lake City, Utah,
at the age of 14, reveals the details of her ordeal
in a memoir released Monday. In an interview
with NBC’s Meredith Viera, Smart, 25, said she
was raped daily for nine months and held down
with chains. Her captor, Brian David Mitchell,
is serving two life sentences. “I want people to
know that I’m happy in my life right now,” she told
the AP. “I also, even more so, want to reach out
to people who might not be in a good situation.”
AID SUSPENDED

The U.S. announced it will slash aid to Egypt
in response to the ouster of democratically
elected President Mohammed Morsi. The
State Department did not reveal how much
of the $1.5 billion annual aid will be cut, but
a spokeswoman said the U.S. won’t provide
some military systems and cash to Egypt
until there is “credible progress” on creating
a government through fair elections. The
U.S. will continue to help fund counter
terrorism efforts and border security, and
give money toward health and education.
