The assassination was carried out by army members who were part of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad organization. They opposed Sadat’s negotiations with Israel, as well as his use of force in the September crackdown.

A fatwa approving the assassination had been obtained from Omar Abdel-Rahman, a cleric later convicted in the U.S. for his role in the February 26, 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
