Sufi Abu Taleb

Egypt’s least-remembered president, Sufi Abu Taleb, died on Thursday. He was acting president for eight days following Anwar as-Sadat’s assassination. I think it’s sad that I couldn’t find a single photo of him on the Web, even after a long search for his name in English and Arabic. An anonymous commenter wrote in with some links to photos of him. Amending the post to include a little .gif of him taken from parliament.gov.eg.
