U S worried about Sadat safety since Nixon era
The United States aided Egyptian President Anwar Sadat beginning in the Nixon administration with Secret Service protection procedures and CIA communications equipment to keep his whereabouts secret. Officials say the aid reflected a broader policy of helping allied leaders in the Middle East counter threats from Libyans, Palestinian militants, or hostile forces within their own ranks. The effort extended into 1977 and 1980 discussions involving Carter, Kissinger, and others as plans considered covert action against Khadafy, with some elements shelved after Giscard dEstaing’s defeat and Sadat’s cautious stance.
