STORYLINE:

Egypt's former spy chief Omar Suleiman, one of the top figures in the regime ousted by last year's uprising, has died.

He was 76.

The official Middle East News Agency said in a brief report that Suleiman died in a US hospital early on July 19th.

Suleiman was appointed vice president on January 29th 2011, at the peak of the uprising, a desperate attempt by former leader Hosni Mubarak to save his political life as hundreds of thousands of Egyptians took to the streets demanding his ouster.

After the revolution, Suleiman disappeared from public only to come back as a presidential candidate, sparking fears of a Mubarak regime comeback.

However, shortly after registering as a candidate, the country's election commission in a surprising move disqualified him for not having received enough signatures on his candidacy papers.

In his most recent public comments, Suleiman said he decided to run for president to prevent Islamists from turning Egypt into "a religious state," and warned that the country would be internationally isolated if one of them became president.
