Cairo, Nov 03, SPA -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton made a hastily arranged stop in the Egyptian capital today to consult with Egyptian officials amid indications of a shifting U.S. strategy for getting Israel and the Palestinians back to peace negotiations. Instead of returning to Washington, as scheduled, after attending an international conference in Marrakech, Morocco, Clinton flew to Cairo and held late-night talks with Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit and Omar Suleiman, the Egyptian intelligence chief. She was due to meet Wednesday with President Hosni Mubarak before returning to Washington to brief President Barack Obama.SPA --SPA 23:54 LOCAL TIME 20:54 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/715617
