Egypt recalls envoy for anti Sadat remarks
Egypt's ambassador to Portugal Saad el Shazli was fired and ordered home after a public critique of President Sadat accusing him of destroying democracy and letting the armed forces run down. The MENA agency said he will be tried on diplomatic grounds upon return to Cairo. Shazli, 56, once military chief of staff in the 1973 war, was accused by Al Ahram of collaborating with Libyan leader Khadafy and of political missteps leading to Israel gains. He reportedly wrote a three page hand written letter.
