Egyptian billionaire, and alleged Israeli agent, Marwan found dead: report LONDON (AFP) - Egyptian billionaire Ashraf Marwan, son-in-law of former Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser, was found dead in London on Wednesday, The Times reported. When contacted by AFP, London's Metropolitan Police would say only that a man believed to be in his 60s was found dead in an up-scale southwest London apartment complex, but declined to identify the man, pending formal identification and next of kin being informed. "It is understood he may have fallen from a balcony, but enquiries into the circumstances surrounding the death do continue," a police spokeswoman said, adding that the death was being treated as unexplained at present. Marwan, 63, was alleged to have acted as a secret agent for the Israeli secret service during the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, reportedly with the code name "Babel". According to The Times, Marwan offered his services to Israel in 1969 and in the ensuing years provided information on Egypt and the Arab world that senior Israeli ministers would describe as priceless.
