Just moments before his death in hail of gun-
fire, a relaxed and happy Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat, along with Vice President Hosni
Mubarak, watch an extravagant military review
in celebration of the 8th anniversary of the
October 6th War. In an attack totally unexpect-
ed, Sadat and many military leaders were killed
when a group of extremists dressed in military
uniforms walked toward the Presidential review-
ing stand and opened fire with machine guns
and grenades. Mubarak, slightly wounded, be-
came President and the stability of the nation
never was in question. Shock waves were felt
around the world due to this act of violence.
President Reagan praised the Egyptian leader as
a great statesman, a champion of peace, and one
of America's close friends. "In a world filled
Iwith hatred he was a man of hope," Reagan
I said in a televised address. Peace loving Sadat
now "belongs to the ages." October 6, 1981
