Summary Egyptian reform advocate Mohammed ElBaradei has been sworn-in as country's interim vice president.

 

CAIRO (AP) - ElBaradei was sworn-in Sunday by interim President Adly Mansour, as Egypt s new leadership pushes ahead with a transition following the military s ouster of President Mohammed Morsi nearly two weeks ago.
 

 

Egypt s new vice president is a former diplomat and Nobel laureate who was heading the main liberal opposition coalition that stood with Defense Secretary Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi as he announced Morsi s ouster amid massive protests against his rule.
