George HW Bush, the 41st President of the US who led America during the dramatic collapse of the Soviet Union and engineered the defeat of an audacious Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, died here on Friday. He was 94.
His death, which was announced by his office, came less than eight months after that of his wife of 73 years, Barbara Bush. “Saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear Dad has died,” George Bush Jr said.
