You knew this was coming....
But of course. Some Arab media have now decided that deposed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is - where else? - in Israel.Ousted Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak is in a luxury hotel in Israel, the news site Al-Arab reported Tuesday.Israel Radio reported earlier that Mubarak had gone to Tabouk, in western Saudi Arabia for medical treatment. But they also noted that there is a purposeful disinformation campaign being conducted regarding Mubarak's whereabouts. I suppose that's not too surprising.
The Arabic-language website claimed there was a huge presence of security forces surrounding an unnamed hotel in Eilat, with airplanes monitoring activity overhead.
The site quoted an employee claiming Mubarak as a guest. It said the hotel declined comment.
According to most accounts, Mubarak is still in Egypt.
But that hasn't slowed a series of alternative theories of his whereabouts, including that the former leader opted to retire in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and even Germany.
