Egyptian newspaper Sawt al-Omma has published an interview with former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak after he was acquitted of the 2011 protestors killing last week.
During the interview, held by the newspaper editor-in-chief Dina al-Hosseini, Mubarak diplomatically evaded most questions and jokingly replied to several of them. At one point, he even claimed he wasn’t Mubarak but his aide, Khaled Thabet, but he then resumed answering Hosseini’s questions.
Hosseini told AlArabiya.net that she contacted the former president by calling one of his aides.
During her interview with him, Mubarak said he was in good health and that when the acquittal procedures are over, he will return home but not to Sharm al-Sheikh. However, he did not elaborate any further.
