Salah Nasr
Salah Nasr (Arabic: صلاح الدين محمد نصر, IPA: [sˤɑˈlɑːħ edˈdiːn mæˈħammæd ˈnɑsˤɾ]) (8 October 1920 – 5 March 1982) served as head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Directorate from 1957 to 1967.[1] He retired citing health reasons following Egypt's defeat in the 1967 Six-Day War. He was succeeded by Amin Howeidi in the post.[2] Nasr was subsequently imprisoned until being granted release by Anwar Sadat in February 1974.[3]
In 1976, Nasr was again imprisoned after being accused by journalist Mustafa Amin of torture after an arrest 11 years prior.[3]
