<em>The assassination of </em><u><em>Anwar</em></u><em> Sadat occurred on </em><u><em>6 October 1981.</em></u><em></em><u><em>Anwar </em></u><em>Sadat, the President of Egypt, was assassinated during the annual victory parade held in Cairo to celebrate Operation </em><u><em>Badr</em></u><em>, during which the Egyptian Army had crossed the Suez Canal and taken back a small part of the Sinai Peninsula from Israel at the beginning of the Yom Kippur War. A fatwa approving the assassination had been obtained from Omar Abdel-Rahman, a cleric later convicted in the US for his role in the </em><u><em>1993 World Trade Center </em></u><em>bombing.\]\\</em>
Seeing Egypt's formal recognition of Israel's right to exist as a betrayal, the Arab League, an alliance of nations in the region, suspended the North African nation from its membership for the next 10 years. Egypt wasn't fully reinstated into the Arab League until 1989. Hope that helps!!!
U.S. and Allied airplanes delivered supplies to West Berlin for almost a year, but the Soviet Union NEVER gave up. All of Berlin is now under Communist rule.
