content: 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 Presidental 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[,] with hatred he was a man of hope," Reagan[,] said in a televised address. Peace loving Sadat[,] now "belongs to the ages."
