A little history/geography quiz

[Scrap]

The assasination was it fatal, or nearly

[X]

The assasination was it fatal, or nearly

I can't see how you can be 'nearly' assassinated ....., you either are or you are not?

(that's for the hippo crack ....... which was true when you think about it. Fair Play)

[Scrap]

X Well it might have been there first attempt at it, and didnt make a good job of it, I was thinking Reagan.

[CGM]

Scrap, indeed this world leader was killed very dead.

[X]

Anwar sadat?

[killersheep]

I'm back and have no idea

[X]

They've probably got one on some research station at the North and South poles - i't the sort of corporate advertising that makes me nauseous enough to believe its the sort of thing McDonalds would do.

[CGM]

You are correct sir. X takes this one. Egypt's Anwar Sadat was co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, along with Israel's Menachim Begin, for the negotiation of the Camp David Accord, a peace treaty between their two countries. Jimmy Carter played a key role in the negotiations.

Sadat was killed a few years later when several gunmen, disguised as soldiers as I recall, jumped out of a truck and open fire while Sadat was viewing a parade.

This provides a segue into another question. Begin and Sadat marked the first time the Nobel Peace Prize was shared between an Arab and Israeli leader. What was the second time?

Yassir Arafat shared it with Yitzhak (sp?) Rabin and, I think, maybe also Shimon Peres after the Oslo accords. 1994?

Is that the one you're thinking of?
