Today in History 10/06 (Anwar Sadat)

Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in 1978 (© Bill Foley/AP)(1981) Egypt’s Nobel Peace Prize-winning president is slain
Eight years to the day after launching the Yom Kippur War against Israel, and just over three years since signing the Camp David Accords that would lead to a peace treaty with Israel, President Anwar Sadat of Egypt is killed by militant fundamentalists as he reviews a Cairo army parade.
The assassination of Anwar Sadat occurred on 6 October 1981. Anwar Sadat, the President of Egypt, was assassinated during the annual victory parade held in Cairo to celebrate Operation Badr, during which the Egyptian Army had crossed the Suez Canal and taken back a small part of the Sinai Peninsula from Israel at the beginning of the Yom Kippur War. A fatwa approving the assassination had been obtained from Omar Abdel-Rahman, a cleric later convicted in the US for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The assassination was undertaken by members of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad.
Date: Oct 06, 1981

1889 | Moulin Rouge opens as cabaret’s crimson windmill marks a Parisian hot spot
The Red Mill, or ‘Moulin Rouge,’ opens its doors in Paris, just a can-can away from the bohemian Montmartre neighborhood, and the glitzy nightclub will go on to attract not just starving artists but also hordes of the well-heeled looking for a little scandalous entertainment.
1945 | Blackballed billy goat curses the Cubs
Billy Sianis and his pet goat are asked to leave game 4 of baseball’s World Series between home team Chicago Cubs and the Detroit Tigers because of the goat’s odor. Outraged, Sianis allegedly declares, “Them Cubs, they ain’t gonna win no more.” Thus cursed, as some fans would come to believe, the Cubs will lose the game, the series, and never play in a series again until 2016, when they beat the Cleveland Indians 4 games to 3, winning the World Series for the first time in 108 years, thus finally breaking the curse.
1973 | A Mideast clash with far-ranging implications as Arab-Israeli War begins
Egypt and Syria strike Israeli-held territory in a two-front surprise attack aimed at regaining land lost in 1967’s Six Day War. The Yom Kippur War ratchets up conflict between its combatants as well as their allies and arms-suppliers, the US for Israel and the USSR for Egypt and Syria.

Egypt and Syria strike Israeli-held territory in a two-front surprise attack aimed at regaining land lost in 1967's Six Day War. The Yom Kippur War ratchets up conflict between its combatants as well as their allies and arms-suppliers, the US for Israel and the USSR for Egypt and Syria.
The Yom Kippur War, Ramadan War, or October War, also known as the 1973 Arab–Israeli War, was a war fought by a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria against Israel from October 6 to 25, 1973. The fighting mostly took place in the Sinai and the Golan Heights, territories that had been occupied by Israel since the Six-Day War of 1967. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat also wanted to reopen the Suez Canal. Neither specifically planned to destroy Israel, although the Israeli leaders could not be sure of that.

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
