WASHINGTON: Former U.S. Secretary of State and former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Colin Powell has died at the age of 84 from a corona infection, his family said. In 1989, Powell became the first black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. As chairman, he played a key role in the military invasion of Panama and the 1991 withdrawal of Iraqi forces from Kuwait.

But his reputation was tarnished in 2003 when he told the UN Security Council that he had secretly used weapons of mass destruction against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein as an excuse to wage a war against Iraq. Colin Powell administered both corona vaccines, according to an announcement on social media.

Former President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush said they were saddened by Powell's death. Bush said he was a great public official. Who was respected at home and abroad. Most importantly, Powell was a family man and my friend. Laura and I have sent a message of condolence to Powell's wife, Alma, and their children.
