Wide of mourners STORYLINE Ashraf Marwan, a wealthy businessman and the son-in-law of Egypt's late President Gamal Abdel Nasser, was buried on Sunday in the country's capital amid controversy over his suspected role as an Israeli double agent. 62-year-old Marwan was found dead Wednesday at the foot of a luxury apartment block in London where he had lived for more than 20 years. Hundreds of mourners, led by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's son, Gamal, and senior government officials gathered for the funeral at a mosque near the presidential palace in Cairo. Egypt's highest ranking Muslim imam, Sheikh Mohammad Seyed Tantawi, led prayers at Marwan's coffin, which was draped with an Egyptian flag, as his wife, sisters and other family members sobbed. The death of Marwan, suspected of being a double agent for Israel during the 1973 war, sparked a debate in Egypt and Israel about his past and also raised questions about his dramatic death. Egypt's Middle East News Agency had said initial indications suggested Marwan fell from his apartment balcony in the affluent Mayfair area in London. But on Sunday the state-owned Al Ahram newspaper reported investigators are not ruling out murder.
