Mubarak still in Egypt: PM

Cairo, Feb 13 (PTI) Ousted Egyptian strongman Hosni
Mubarak is still in the country's Red Sea resort of Sharm el-
Sheikh, Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq said on Sunday.
"What I know is that the (former) president is in Sharm
el-Sheikh," Shafiq told reporters during his first news
conference since the 82-year-old Mubarak left Cairo last
Friday amid unprecedented anti-government protests.
Earlier there were rumours that Mubarak, who had ruled
Egypt for 30 years, had fled the country. There were media
reports that he may go to the United Arab Emirates.
The Dubai-based network Al-Arabiya reported on Friday
that Mubarak was making plans to head to the Emirates. A
Kuwait daily, Al-Qabas, said Friday that UAE officials have
offered Mubarak haven in Al Ain, a desert city near the Omani
border.
Mubarak's reign over the Arab world's most populous
country came to an end after 18 days of nationwide protests
organised by a loose conglomeration of young activists
demanding democratic change.
