Egyptian X-file : The Sadat Assassination X-File is open again “1”

Mubarak and Sadat
On 6th of October 1981

When Mubarak stepped down , I wondered if the file of president Sadat’s assassination would be opened at all , this file is the mother of all Egyptian X-Files in time of Mubarak. I have opened couple of times this file here already whenever there is new information leaked from here and there during the Mubarak era. Despite the outside appearance makes it look like a solid straight assassination yet if you look carefully and begin to investigate it you will find a huge loop holes the official story can’t easily fill. 
Some people think that opening this file now is a distraction for files that matter . First of all this file is opened by the Sadat family who knows the truth and could not speak all those 30 years from fear. Second of all you can’t blame the media for covering this file , it is a gold mine for any investigative journalist.  Third I think it is not distraction up till now as the official media has not covered the case in its newspapers and channels except very shyly unlike private channels
I do not see any distraction , may be because I have followed this file very carefully and wished that it would be opened this way. The real distraction I believe is that talk about stability and economy using them to scare the people from any change.
Talaat Sadat , the president’s nephew paid the price heavily and spent a whole year in military jail for accusing Abu Ghazla in 2006 of involving in Sadat’s assassination because of the shady arms deals publicly on air. Despite Abu Ghazla left the service in a scandal , despite Sadat did not come from near or far then to the Egyptian army he was accused of insulting the Egyptian army !!
The outspoken lawyer and politician in the same year spoke in an interview with DPA correspondent then in Cairo Wael Abbas accusing Mubarak directly and demanding the ICC to investigate the matter as President Sadat is not less than former Lebanese PM Hariri. ‘Scroll to the English part’ Sooner Talaat found himself accused of insulting the army and Wael Abbas found himself without a job !!
Ayman Nour opened this file in 2008 and brought interesting stuff in our attention which he was in jail. The Sadat clan already hinted from near and far that there was something fishy about Sadat’s assassination.
Right after Mubarak’s step down , I was surprised to find Sakina Sadat , the half sister of President Sadat and famous Egyptian writer saying  that she was banned from attending any meeting with president Mubarak and her brother Essamt “Talaat’s father” was imprisoned because he dared and asked Mubarak 

“how did the president get killed ? You were sitting besides him ?”

Sakina Sadat and the #Jan25 revolution

Essamt El-Sadat was convicted in a some corruption case the Mubarak regime media loved to bring from time time to to defame the Talaat and Mohamed Anwar El Sadat , his sons. Sakina Sadat is a veteran journalist despite her down to earth style like her late president brother , she knows exactly what she is saying , how she is saying it and when she is saying it.
In 2009 Jihan Sadat said in Al Masry Al Youm’s interview that the she believed those who assassinated Sadat were a tool in a hand of unknown party and she did not speak for fear on her son’s life.
After the revolution of January 25th the first reaction of Jihan Sadat after the revolution shows that she really liked the Mubaraks !!

Jihan Sadat speaks in Cairo Today

The former first lady exploded in laughter in a very womanly way when Amr Adeeb reminded her that all the world knows that Suzanne Mubarak hated her !! It was not a secret that Suzanne Mubarak did not like her especially Jihan Sadat is widely known and respected abroad than her. She wondered then from where all these billion came in dismay.
From two weeks ago Egyptians were surprised by a clear accusation from Rakia Sadat to Hosni Mubarak of being behind her dad’s assassination. She even reported the matter to the general prosecutor and he will start investigating the matter this week.Of course you can expect the media frenzy following the matter , people began to speak and questions began to be asked about the incident that brought Mubarak to the chair. She went today to testify in front of the general prosecutor.
During Amr El-Lathy’s show Mrs. Rakia revealed that she saw Khaled Islambouli alive in Mecca in 1996 at Ajyad hotel to be precise. According to what we have been told and declared Khaled was executed on April 15,1982 in a military camp by a firing squad. Rakia Al Sadat is not crazy or looking for any publicity from any kind , yes she could have seen someone looking similar to Islambouli in 1996 especially after all those years but she got a point here : What happened to Khaled !!?

There was not a single photo for him as dead shown in the media where as we have seen the dead body of Anwar Sadat him at the morgue. Some ex-officer from that camp appeared last Thursday to insist that Khaled Islambouli was truly executed , but ironically he did not convince many people with what he said including me , in fact he made me ask several questions because of his hesitation , for example :
He said that the firing squad at military execution had fake and live ammunition , it is a system and no one knows which has which. When the squad fired on Khaled , his head did not move right or left as it is expected from someone being executed. The officers thought he was still alive as he got a very strong body , so the commander of the squad took his gun “full of live ammunition” to shot him in the head.  At the same moment his finger on the trigger , Khaled’s head moved to the right !!! A lot of drama , is not it !!? Well the assassination of Sadat is full of drama !!? Ironically that officer did not tell if Khaled got a blood or not  !!?

Amr El-Lathy : Who killed Anwar Sadat ?

Why I am raising this point , well I heard something interesting from one of the soldiers who were accompanied Khaled Islambouli and Hussein Abbas in handcuffs there during the execution. The soldier did not see the execution as it was behind a hill , he only heard the gun shots but he did not see any body at all. At that time he thought his body would be taken to the vehicle to its pre-burial preparation in another way then the one they came from.
Khaled Islambouli’s body was not given to his family to be buried in their cemetery , it was buried at the unknown charity cemetery like spies and traitors. The thing is that the family of Islambouli did not reject their son on the contrary they took  the same path as his !! 

Aboud El-Zomor in his iconic shot

Of course you end this debate so easily if you tell us where Khaled Islambouli was buried and show us his body , there is a nice DNA test that can make us assure this is Islambouli. I can’t believe that the Egyptian authorities do not where Khaled was buried ,it is an insult to them. When it reaches to this level of accusation then you must act in this way.  I can’t ask myself though that if Islambouli knew who was really behind it, he would be killed to keep it a secret like for example Lee Harvey Oswald.
Then Aboud El-Zomor was released and his interviews mania along with the fact that he did not show any remorse at all for Sadat’s assassination made many people angry , it led many people to remember the assassination and start ask questions. I have always thought that El-Zomor was kept all those years after his sentence jail because he knew what really happened at the podium. One thing I have realized from watching his interviews , the man really knows but he is playing dump !! El-Zomor was a military intelligence officer by the way.
On  the same show that Talaat Sadat accused Abu Ghazla of murdering his uncle in 2006 “Cairo Today” ,  he was back last week speaking about the matter again. He did not accuse Mubarak directly though surprisingly , in fact he defended him !! Still he defended his cousin’s position, brought up the Khaled Islambouli’s body thing and Aboud Zomor’s long time imprisonment !!

Talaat Sadat and the truth behind the assassination of president Sadat

There was nothing new for those who follow that file in what Talaat Sadat said except the big revelation that the bullet that killed Sadat was from behind which means the real killer was in the podium.
The autopsy report of President Sadat was modified and the doctor who made the report was afraid to say the truth. Already God knows that I have heard this before from my late grandfather may Allah bless his soul that the bullet that killed Sadat was from behind. The real killer was not Hussein Abbas nor Islambouli , the killer was from the podium.

Khaled firing at the podium

The killer in the podium theory was enforced more and more now with a viral video showing the podium after the attack when there was chaos and president Sadat allegedly alive trying to push the chairs over him. The video is showing VP Mubarak then throwing chair over Sadat as he wanted him to die. The video’s quality is more than terrible , I do not know if we can enhance it.

The video accuses then MJ. Ahmed Hatata of killing the president by spraying nerve gas from his watch to the face of the late president to make sure that he was finished. It also claims that former PM Mamdouh Salam helped Mubarak to escape to the presidential Cadillac car with the help of foreign men !! They do not look foreign to me.
The fact that Mubarak did not get a scratch , sorry got some injury in his finger raised many eye brows in Egypt then. Of course Egyptians made jokes about it that he got that finger injury while he was referring to Sadat besides him .
The video is by far very interesting.
FYI  :

• All those who responsible of the security of the podium and President Sadat were promoted after this attack !!
• The security forces knew that there were plans against Sadat and saw videos showing the Islamic Jihad wanted to kill him but did technically nothing.
• It was very unorganized military parade , aside of the assassination it was by far the worse many army vehicles and motorcycle broke down so when the Islambouli’s truck broke down nobody suspected anything !!
• The security vehicles on the right an left of the podium responsible for the president’s security suddenly disappeared !!
• What Islambouli allegedly said to Mubarak : We do not want you , we want him !!

This is just the start.
Not only the Sadats or most of the Sadats believe that President Sadat was killed in a big conspiracy but they have found unlike ally in leftist politician Abu El-Ezz Hariri who was being imprisoned during the Sadat era !! Former MP and famous politician spoke about the assassination and its surrounding based on Joseph Trento’s book “Prelude to terror”. We mentioned this very interesting book before when we spoke about Hussein Salem. Oh yes all ways go back to Hussein Salem , Mubarak and Abu Ghazla along with their small partnership of Les ailes blanches , in fact Edwin Wilson was also there as well !!

Sadat, Abu Ghazla and Mubarak 

Rakia Sadat’s attorney Dr. Samri Sabry built his case upon what Hariri says and what came in Trento’s book. Abu El-Ezz El-Hariri , Talaat and Rakia Sadat believe that the States and Israel among those involved in the assassination.
All those responsible for the security in time of Sadat especially the security of the podium are sticking to the official story , there is no doubt that they are trying to defend themselves. Nobody thought the file would be opened in this way and they would be considered as accomplice. Yesterday Al Ahram published an interview with one of the Sadat’s bodyguards sticking to the official story.
Tomorrow Gamal Sadat , the son of President Sadat is going to speak about the matter at Mona El-Shazly’s show , I would expect him that he will deny the allegations despite the fact it seems all the Sadat clan seemed to be supporting Rakia and Talaat Sadat. Update : Al Masry Al Youm Arabic has just published an interview with him , he believes that his father was a victim of a big conspiracy and mentioned some of the points above that raise questions with no doubt. He did not accuse anyone and he believes that the fatal shots came from outside the podium not from inside.
Rakia testified today in front of the general prosecutor by the way and Anis Mansour as usual turned against Mubarak “it took a longer time than with Sadat” and said that former minister of interior Nabawy Ismail said that Mubarak was responsible of the podium’s security.
Probably you wonder now why Mubarak would be behind the assassination and why many Egyptians start to believe that there was something fishy in the Sadat’s , well this needs another separate post.
