"CAIRO: President George W. Bush apologized to the Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, on Thursday for the killing of an Egyptian vendor when a cargo ship chartered by the United States opened fire on his small boat near the Suez Canal on Monday in an incident that has enraged Egyptians.
"President Bush expressed his deep regret and sympathies for the incident in the Suez Canal," the White House spokesman, Gordon Johndroe, said Thursday morning aboard Air Force One, adding that, in his telephone conversation with Mubarak, Bush promised that the United States "would fully investigate."
Bush also expressed hopes that the accident would not damage friendly relations between the two countries, a press release from the Egyptian president's office said Thursday."
