Dominoes! Jamal Mubarak left for London on Tuesday.
Mubarak's son, who is considered his successor, left the country along with his family amid the anti-government protests across Egypt which are the largest since Mubarak took power three decades ago.
The plane with Jamal Mubarak, his wife and daughter on board left for London Tuesday from an airport in western Cairo, the US-based Arabic website, Akhbar al-Arab reported on Wednesday.
His departure comes as situation in Egypt remains tense with people pouring into the streets across the country to protest against Mubarak.
Heavily armed riot police have been deployed in major cities as the Egyptian government has banned any demonstrations, warning that protesters would be detained.
The opposition groups have called on people to take to the streets to continue anti-government protests.
At least four people, including a police officer, have already been killed in anti-government demonstrations across the country.

I was merely desiring to point out how often history has played this game, and Hollywood as well in so many films like Stargate. The son inheriting the ill-gotten gains of the father never turns out to well, as Shah2 well demonstrated in Persia, but then perhaps the old empire builders in Britain well do better this time? They have their old friends at Langley as their usual backup, and all their Jewish cousins just itching for a chance to prove themselves yet again.
I hope they do better with this choice than the one they made in Cuba. That one didn't turn out so well, though from the public's point of view, none of them have.
