Edited on Sat Jan-29-11 05:42 PM by malaise
They said nineteen private planes. Then they wondered if the passengers were members of the regime and then they said they just received information that it was nineteen businessmen.

23. The report was confusing
No problem

One plane per businessman while people are starving and can't find work.
What a world.

9. Some could be leased to remove American Workers & students
They don't have to be rich people themselves. I'm sure a few Universities got together to get their archeologists, documentary crews out.

18. link:Official: 19 private jets, carrying families of Egyptian businessmen, leave Cairo

Official: 19 private jets, carrying families of Egyptian businessmen, leave Cairo

By Tarek El-Tablawy


CAIRO (AP) - An official at Cairo airport says 19 private jets carrying families of wealthy Egyptian and Arab businessmen have flown out of the capital. The official said the jets left Saturday carrying dozens of family members of Egypt's business elite. He said most of the planes were headed for Dubai. The passengers included the families of telecom mogul Naguib Sawiris, the executive chairman of Orascom Telecom, and Hussein Salem, a hotel tycoon and close confidant of President Hosni Mubarak. The exodus of the families comes as Egypt enters its sixth day of mass unrest directed against Mubarak and what they say have been policies that further enrich the wealthy at the average citizen's expense.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.
