AL ARABIYA NEWS CHANNEL: Amid rapidly changing developments in Egypt and conflicting reports about the nature of power transition, questions about the location of embattled President Hosni Mubarak are taking center stage in different local and international news media.
While Egypt's state TV reported that Mubarak will deliver a statement live from his palace, earlier Egyptian media reports suggested that Mubarak had already departed to the Sinai resort of Sharm Eshiskh onboard a military airplane and was accompanied by chief of staff of the armed forces, Lt. Gen. Sami Annan.
Other local reports indicated that Mubarak has flown to an "unknown" destination.
US-based Al-Hurra TV reported that Mubarak was flying toward the United Arab Emirates and was expected in Dubai in an hour. >>> Writer: Farrag Ismaeli, Dubai; Translator: Mustapha Ajbaili | Published: Thursday, February 10, 2011; Updated: Friday, February 11, 2011
