Where Is Hosni?

by | Jan 28, 2011 | News | 1 comment

Earlier, it was announced that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak would address the nation, but there’s no sign of him. Is he getting his Boeing jet ready to take off — or, as one Arab paper is reporting, has that plane already taken off en route to London?

Update: Al Jazeera reports that a plane-load of “influential” officials, major businessmen, and other regime supporters has indeed taken off. Was Hosni on it?

Update: On Twitter, there are reports that Israeli Channel 10 has said Hosni Mubarak is on a plane to Switzerland. NBC reports that three private planes have taken off under heavy security from the airport. Who could be on them? (from Jeremy Sapienza)
