U.S. officials told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit in Philadelphia that Egypt has offered "diplomatic assurances" that Khouzam won't be tortured if he's sent home.

HOLY WATER FOR CARS
Priest Blesses Congregants' Vehicles
A Tennessee priest has blessed the cars of his parishioners.
It was the fifth annual blessing of the cars at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Memphis.
After Mass on Sunday, the Rev. John Geaney stood outside the church, flicking holy water onto a long line of vehicles driving slowly past him.
Geaney is a Boston native who got the idea from the New England custom of blessing boats. He says people spend a lot of time in their cars, so blessing them seemed like a good idea.
Rosalyn Whitaker, 17, said she wanted her new car blessed because she "bumped into something."
