Hosni Mubarak six years – CWEB.com
Mr. Mubarak, 88, was taken from the Maadi Military Hospital in southern Cairo, where he had been living under guard in a room with a view of the Nile, to his mansion in the upmarket suburb of Heliopolis.
“He went home at 8:30 this morning,” said his longtime lawyer, Farid el-Deeb, who stewarded Mr. Mubarak through a tangled cluster of prosecutions since 2011, speaking by telephone. “I don’t have further details, but he is home and all is well now.”
His release on Friday capped the crushing of those hopes, and the enduring disappointment of the Egyptians who risked their lives to topple him – even if many now say the challenge is far bigger than a single man.
“At this point, I really don’t care,” said Ahmed Harara, an activist who lost his sight after he was shot by the police, first in the right eye and then in the left, during the demonstrations that shook Cairo in 2011. “I realized years ago that this is not just about Mubarak and his regime – it’s an entire system that has now resurrected itself.”

Adele delivered an emotional tribute to the victims of the London terror attacks during her concert in Auckland last night.
Lights dimmed at the Eiffel Tower in Paris in solidarity with London after terror attack that left at least 4 dead, including a police officer and the suspect. Hearts are with London and all of the United Kingdom in the wake of a terrorist attack at the Houses of Parliament today that has left at least four people dead and many injured.
In light of this recent attack on their way of life, I pray that they will remain strong and unyielding as ever. Please say a prayer for London, the United Kingdom and all the families and individuals personally affected. Please also pray for their leaders as they seek to understand what happened and decide how to move forward and ask questions why was this person not being monitored and why the MI5 and MI6 never put this criminal on a watch list?

At some point, he said last year, we will all “have AR experiences every day, almost like eating three meals a day. It will become that much a part of you.”’
