CAIRO, April 29 (Reuters) – The head of Egypt’s ruling

military council will start talks on a cabinet reshuffle, a

leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood told Reuters on Sunday,

in an apparent concession to the Islamist-dominated parliament’s

demand for a new government.

Essam el-Erian, a senior Brotherhood lawmaker, said Field

Marshal Hussein Tantawi had told Parliamentary Speaker Saad

al-Katatni, another member of the Islamist group, that he would

begin talks for the reshuffle.
