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)
If he has it would spare his country and its people a lot of pain and suffering that has gone on under his regime.
