(CBS/AP) CAIRO – Egypt’s official news agency said the country’s top generals are holding an “emergency meeting” to discuss the surprise decision by the president to recall the dissolved, Islamist-dominated parliament. The Middle East News Agency said the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces that comprises top military chiefs was meeting Sunday to “review and discuss the consequences” of President Mohammed Morsi’s decision earlier today.

The decree by Morsi, a longtime Muslim Brotherhood member and Egypt’s first democratically-elected president, also called for new parliamentary elections to be held within 60 days of the adoption of a new constitution for the country, which is not expected before late this year.

(AP) KABUL, Afghanistan – A bomb in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday killed six NATO service members, on a day where a total of 29 people died from roadside bombs and insurgent attacks.
