Al-Hussein mosque STORYLINE: Mohamed Heikal, a close confidant of Egypt's nationalist leader Gamal Abdel Nasser since the 1950s and later author of insider accounts of his country's wars and peace-making with Israel, has died. He was 92. Mourners gathered for the funeral procession for Heikal on Wednesday in Cairo. Better known among Egyptians by his full name, Mohamed Hassanein Heikal, he recently suffered kidney problems that required regular dialysis. His health rapidly deteriorated at the start of the year. The popular author rose to prominence as a confidant and later a Cabinet minister under Nasser, Egypt's socialist and Arab nationalist president who ruled from 1954 until his sudden death in 1970. His close friendship with Nasser cast Heikal in the role of a top authority on Egyptian and regional politics at a time when much of the Arab world was shaking off colonial European rule and embroiled in armed conflict with Israel. The leftist Nasserist ideology, which centred on what Nasser called "Arab-socialism", commands little influence in present-day Egyptian politics, but Heikal remained relevant long after Nasser died, respected for his wide network of international contacts and extraordinary analytical skills. =========================================================== Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
