Arab ministers back oil embargo on Egypt over peace deal
Arab foreign and economic ministers reportedly agree on a total oil embargo and severing diplomatic ties with Egypt in protest of Anwar Sadat's separate peace with Israel. PLO figures say measures include an oil ban, halting loans, and banning deposits in Egyptian banks with a 30 day timeline for action. Sadat defies calls for assassination and makes a public return march amid huge crowds in Cairo with tight airport security.
