Sawt Al Arab radio show host dies at 93: The signature voice of Nasser-era radio channel ‘Sawt Al Arab’ (The Voice of Arabs), Ahmed Said, passed away on Monday at the age of 93. Said is famous for having reported an Egyptian ‘victory’ during the 1967 war, telling “listeners that Egypt had shot down dozens of Israeli warplanes. In reality, Israel had destroyed nearly all of Egypt's air force on the tarmac,” the Associated Press notes.
