BEIJING, March 7 (Xinhuanet) -- An Egyptian administrative court has ordered the suspension of parliamentary elections that was scheduled to begin next month. The court made its ruling on technical grounds, saying in a statement that Egypt’s upper house of parliament had not returned the amended electoral law to the Supreme Constitutional Court for final review before passing it.

The presidency made no immediate comment. Earlier we spoke with our correspondent Yasser Hakim in Cairo; he told us the latest details on the suspension.
