CAIRO, July 3 (Reuters) - Egypt's military council is currently holding a crisis meeting, a military source told Reuters on Wednesday.

The meeting was being held hours before the expiry of a deadline set by the army for rival politicians to find a solution to the country's political crisis. The source said the meeting was being attended by senior commanders of the armed forces.
