Mossad murdered my husband, says former Egyptian presidentâ€™s daughter

Baku. Murad Ahmadov â€“ APA. Israelâ€™s intelligence agency Mossad is accused in killing of the former Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasserâ€™s son-in-law Ashraf Marwan, APA reports. The billionaire arms dealerâ€™s widow Mona Nasser has told The Observer that in the days before he died her husband believed his life was in danger. Marwan fell to his death from a fifth-floor West End balcony on a summer’s day in 2007. His death in the heart of wealthy London made world headlines. Mona Nasser, speaking from her home in Cairo, said that Marwan told her three times in the four years before he died that his life was in peril. The last time he did so, they were alone together in their London flat. "He turned to me and said: ’My life is in danger. I might be killed. I have a lot of different enemies.’ He knew they were coming after him. He was killed by Mossad," she said.
Mossad agents say Marwan was their heroic spy at the heart of the Egyptian government. But both Hosni Mubarak, Egypt’s current president, and the former head of Israeli military intelligence have indicated that Marwan was a double agent feeding misinformation to the Israelis.
Marwan was found dead in June 2007 on the pavement beneath his exclusive Carlton House Terrace flat, a stone’s throw from Trafalgar Square. At least one witness claims to have seen two men of Middle Eastern appearance on his fifth-floor balcony seconds after he fell. â€œI am talking about it for the first time because the truth should come out," said Mona Nasser.
