Islambuli, Khalid al-or Khaled Islambouli(born 1958, near Al-Minya, Egypt—died April 15, 1982, Egypt) Egyptian radical, assassin of Anwar el-Sadat. Born into a family of rural notables, he attended Egypt's military academy and was assigned to the artillery corps as a lieutenant. Furious at the arrest of his brother, a leader of the Islamist opposition to Sadat, he joined the radical Islamic Jihad Group (Jama'at al-Jihad al-Islami), and, along with a group of accomplices, assassinated Sadat during a parade in 1981. He was executed following a public trial. How to thank TFD for its existence?
