journalist and political commentator
Mohamed Hassanein Heikal died Wednesday morning at the age of 92.
Throughout the last weeks Heikal?s health had deteriorated, after being diag**sed with kidney failure.
He spent more than 15 years of his professional career as the editor-in-chief of Egypt?s largest state news outlet Al-Ahram.
Heikal?s work is considered by many as a valuable source for the history of the modern Middle East.
