1954-1970: CIA and the Muslim Brotherhood Ally to Oppose Egyptian President Nasser
Edit event

In 1954, Egyptian President Gamal Abddul Nasser’s nationalist policies in Egypt come to be viewed as completely unacceptable by Britain and the US. MI6 and the CIA jointly hatch plans for his assassination. According to Miles Copeland, a CIA operative based in Egypt, the opposition to Nasser is driven by the commercial community—the oil companies and the banks. At the same time, the Muslim Brotherhood’s resentment of Nasser’s secular government also comes to a head. In one incident, Islamist militants attack pro-Nasser students at Cairo University. Following an attempt on his own life by the Brotherhood, Nasser responds immediately by outlawing the group, which he denounces as a tool of Britain. The following years see a long and complex struggle pitting Nasser against the Muslim Brotherhood, the US, and Britain. The CIA funnels support to the Muslim Brotherhood because of “the Brotherhood’s commendable capability to overthrow Nasser.”

10. Perhaps by ancestry; but he was born and raised in Britain

Morgan was born on March 30, 1965, at Newick in East Sussex. His father Vincent O’Meara died when Piers was one year old and his brother Jeremy was three. His mother Gabrielle was an artist who raised Piers in the Catholic faith. She later married Glynne Pughe-Morgan, who still runs a meat, poultry and game distribution business in the village.

“He’s been absolutely incredible,” Morgan said recently of his stepfather. “He took on two young boys when he was in his twenties and did a great job for us. We didn’t have much money, but we had a great time.”

He reckons he got his boisterous ways in the Sussex pub that his parents ran: “I was always very cocky and noisy in the pub. I loved holding forth, hearing the sound of my own voice, and a lot of people found it amusing. So I just carried on.”

His education was a mixture of private and state: he went to a prep school until he was 13 and then to Chailey comprehensive, near Lewes. At 15 he wrote his first article, a 1,500-word piece for the Mid Sussex Times about his village cricket team’s trip to Malta: “I was so excited that I framed the <£15> cheque.”
