Muhammad Anwar el-Sadat[2] (25 December 1918 – 6 October 1981) was the
third President of Egypt. He served from 15 October 1970 until he was assassinated by Islamic extremists on 6 October 1981.
Significantly, Anwar Sadat did not mention aspects in his early life...It was in Mit Abul-Kum that Eqbal Afifi, the woman who was his wife for ten years and whom he left, was also born. Her family was of higher social standing than Anwar's, being of Turkish origin...
