About Suleiman Khater

  • Suleiman Mohammed Abdul-Hamid Khater (Arabic ?????? ????, also transcribed Soleiman, Sulaiman, Sulayman, Suliman etc.; 1961-1986) was an Egyptian soldier who committed the Ras Burqa massacre of October 5, 1985, when he opened fire on Israeli tourists in the Sinai Peninsula, killing seven of them, as well as an Egyptian police officer.
  • While Israel demanded that he be harshly punished, he enjoyed widespread support in Egypt and throughout the Arab world for his actions.
  • Khater was found dead in January 1986, hanged in his jail cell, and many suspected that the Egyptian authorities staged a "suicide" as a convenient escape from their political dilemma.
