"The embassy says the U.S. ambassador met with the family Thursday and offered an apology and 750,000 Egyptian pounds, or about US$140,000. In return, the family agreed not to sue the U.S. government. The slain man's brother-in-law, Hussein Abdel-Aaly, says he felt pressured to accept the offer and that his lawyer wasn't allowed in the room when the deal was agreed upon." (thanks Mouin)
