Forty-four years ago today, on October 6, 1981 (September 9, 1981 lunar calendar), Egyptian President Sadat was assassinated. After the assassin's rampage, political figures, including President Sadat, fell in a pool of blood. The Egyptian people could never have imagined that someone would assassinate their leader Sadat during a grand military parade, and they have since lost a strong leader. Yes, at 12:58 am local time on October 6, 1981, the military parade has been going on for two hours. This is a military parade held to celebrate the 8th anniversary of the victory of the October War in the Middle East. Location: Nasr City near Cairo. At this moment, six Mirage jet fighters were rolling in the air, performing stunts, and on the ground, the troops under review were marching. Sadat looked up happily at the eagles in the sky. Perhaps the assassins thought this was a better opportunity. No one seemed to notice that as the gun trucks under review passed by the podium, a 130mm cannon truck suddenly left the convoy and stopped in front of the presidency. A soldier jumped out of the car and quickly rushed to the podium. He threw a grenade at the podium first. Before he heard the explosion, he used a submachine gun to fire violently at the podium. Then the two soldiers in the car also attacked the podium. One of the grenades exploded only 5 meters away from Sadat. Sadat, who had not yet figured out what was going on, fell under the podium seat. His chest and shoulders were seriously injured and bleeding. Then, a helicopter took him to the hospital for emergency treatment. But the rescue was ineffective. Two hours after the operation, Sadat died unfortunately. Mohammed Anwar Sadat was born on December 25, 1918 in the village of Mate Abkum, Manufia Province, in the Nile Delta. He graduated from the Egyptian Military Academy in 1936-1938. Arrested and expelled from the army in 1942 for opposing the British occupation, he re-enlisted in 1950 and was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1951. He was a core member of the Free Officers Organization led by former President Nasser. After the death of President Nasser on September 28, 1970, Sadat became interim president and was elected president on October 15 of the same year. He later served as Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and again as Prime Minister in May 1980. After Sadat became president, he signed the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty in March 1979, thus ending the three-decade-long state of war between Egypt and Israel. On October 8, the head of the office of Egyptian Vice President Hosni Mubarak and the First State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that the four murderers who murdered President Sadat were extremists who acted in accordance with extreme religious tendencies. According to the information provided by the investigators and the confessions of the three commando members, the murderers only wanted to assassinate President Sadat, which was by no means an attempted coup or mutiny. "Out of fanatical thinking, they assassinated a president who pursued a policy that was different from theirs in some respects". The Egyptian defense minister said in a statement on the same day that one of the four murderers who assassinated the president was an officer and one was a reserve officer. On October 10, Sadat's funeral was held in Cairo. Sadat's coffin, placed on a gun truck, was taken to a cemetery near the Memorial to the Unsung Hero. On October 14, Mubarak was sworn in as Egypt's new president.
