Der Spiegel Reports Possible Exit Plan for Mubarak

February 7th, 2011 by Alec

German paper Der Spiegel is reporting that the U.S. government and Egyptian officials are working on a plan for Hosni Mubarak to exit Egypt on a “prolonged health check” that would place him in a luxury clinic near Baden-Baden, Germany. The report builds upon earlier claims from a piece in The New York Times.  Such plans are, “far more concrete than had been assumed.”  Politicians from German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s governing coalition have reacted positively to such a prospect saying that a “prolonged stay” by Mubarak would be welcome if it helped stabilize Egypt.
