The Associated Press reports the attempt on Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was the third attack on a world leader in six months. Reagan and John Paul II survived earlier assassination attempts by lone gunmen. Sadat was shot by Egyptian soldiers during a Cairo parade review and evacuated by helicopter. Reagan has recovered and resumed duties, while the pope ended convalescence and plans to resume audiences in St. Peter's Square. Two women were wounded in the pope’s attack. Brady remains hospitalized.
United Press International recalls Anwar Sadat as Egypt's firebrand leader who forged a pragmatic, informal alliance with the United States while provoking Arab backlash. His pivotal moves include the 1973 war against Israel and the 1977 Jerusalem peace bid, leading to the 1979 peace treaty and a proclaimed move toward lasting peace.
