Cairo : Egypt marks October 1973 war with Israel , the day has been celebrated with pomp every year since Egypt launched the surprise war, in tandem with Syria, to regain territory which the Arab states lost to Israel in the devastating 1967 Six-Day War.
It was on this day 30 years ago when fighter jets at a military parade distracted president Anwar Sadat as an Islamist army officer who opposed the peace treaty sprinted up to the stand and shot him dead.
