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 arrested and tried soon after the end of his tenure as the head of general intelligence.[3] He was freed when he was granted release by Anwar Sadat in February 1974.[4]

In 1976, Nasr was again imprisoned after being accused by journalist Mustafa Amin of torture after an arrest 11 years prior.[4]
