Muslim extremist rebel troops machine-gun the reviewing stand at a military parade in Cairo, murdering Sadat, killing seven others and wounding twenty-eight, on October 6, 1981. (The assassins will later be executed.)

Sadat's vice president and successor, Hosni Mubarak, reaffirms the 1979 treaty with Israel but is prepared only for a "cold" peace with the Jewish nation.
