Mubarak 'holed up' in Sharm el Sheikh ready to be airlifted out of Egypt

".... A worker walking home from the hotel said: “You are not safe here.Everyone says he is here and so they are watching for people taking photographs.“I think he is there because otherwise in Cairo he will be killed.“The crowds will not get him in Sharm because the roads all the way from Cairo are heavily guarded by roadblocks. “There are not enough people here to cause him harm, and too many police.” A tourist shuttle bus driver claimed to have seen Mubarak’s entourage arrive on Wednesday, and that his official plane was at Sharm-el-Sheikh airport but nobody at the airport would confirm if this was true. A number of military aircraft were visible from the perimeter fence, but the airport is frequently used by the armed forces for operations and for public airshows.

1. Dates from last Saturday:

Just so we're clear, that means the Wednesday was a week ago. So if you think he's been there for a whole week, this is the rumour for you.

2. We need an interactive "Where's Waldo" map to keep up with these
Mubarek sightings. He's out of the country, he's back in, he left by helicopter, he's still in the building.
