Cairo: Hosni Mubarak, the former Egyptian president, has left the resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh on a flight headed to Germany, possibly for medical treatment, sources said.
Mubarak had been staying in Sharm El-Sheikh under house arrest since he stepped down from office on February 11.
Reports said people in Egypt are not convinced that the news is true.
They are holding the military to the promise of keeping Mubarak in the country to stand trial for alleged crimes under his presidency, she said.
“The army has repeatedly said Mubarak would not be able to leave Egypt, even for medical treatment.”
She added that if true, news of Mubarak’s departure would “definitely cause a lot of anger on the streets of Egypt”.
Shortly after the report, a source from the military council denied the story to the media.
Media reports earlier this month indicated that Mubarak was receiving medical treatment in Saudi Arabia.
But Egypt’s Supreme Council of the Armed Forces said the former leader and his family would not be allowed to leave the country and denied reports that Mubarak had fled to Saudi Arabia.
