Egypt's airport authorities have been told that a travel ban on U.S. pro-democracy activists has been lifted, airport sources said Thursday, opening the way to defuse a row that U.S. officials linked to $1.3 billion of annual military aid.

A judge had said Wednesday that Egypt was scrapping the ban, which barred the departure of U.S. citizens and others working for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that Cairo says received foreign funds illegally.
