Mubarak and wife Suzanne

The wife of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and their son Gamal, considered the successor to his father as president, have fled to London with 97 suitcases after unprecedented massive protests in Egypt, an Arab website reported. Egyptian officials denied the claim.

The plane also reportedly carried Gamal’s daughter, the Akhbar Arab website reported. It also said a Twitter account was blocked to prevent a social network campaign to urge the ousting of Mubarak, who is over 80 and is reportedly is suffering from cancer.

Dozens of Twitter messages have been sent saying that Mubarak’s wife Suzanne was identified at Heathrow Airport in London, where she and her son and granddaughter arrived in a private jet.

In Egypt, calm has returned to the streets but authorities have arrested hundreds of protesters. Three people – two of them demonstrators — were killed in Tuesday’s rallies that spread throughout the country.

Frantic exodus from Egypt (culled from several news reports)

CAIRO — Cairo’s international airport was a scene of chaos and confusion Monday as thousands of foreigners sought to flee the unrest in Egypt and countries around the world scrambled to send in planes to fly their citizens out.

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Janice Jacobs has said it will take several flights over the coming days to fly out the thousands of Americans who want to leave Egypt.

About 220 Americans had flown out of Egypt on two planes before 10 a.m. ET, Jacobs told MSNBC. The embassy hoped to transport a total of 900 Americans on seven charter flights on Monday and about 1,000 on Tuesday, she said.

There are some 10,000 Filipinos in Egypt. Overseas Workers Welfare Administrator (OWWA) chief Carmelita Dimzon said, “there is no need to evacuate our nationals, walang imminent danger at their lives at the moment.”

Dimzon clarified, however, that once their people on the ground recommend immediate evacuation, all government agencies are ready for the quick action.

“The important thing is, if push comes to shove now, we have P50 million on the ground,” Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Esteban Conejos said.

The officials said many countries were working to evacuate their citizens, with Turkey sending four flights, Israel and Russia sending two planes each and the Czech Republic one. They said those additional flights had helped ease the airport’s swelling and restless crowds, but those gains were likely to be short-lived as other foreigners and Egyptians poured in.

Hundreds of Indian nationals were evacuated, with 316 arriving Monday in Mumbai on board a special Air India flight and another 275 expected to reach Mumbai later in the day.

China sent two planes Monday and was sending two more charter flights Tuesday to help pick up an estimated 500 Chinese stranded in Cairo. It issued a travel warning and requested that its citizens not travel to Egypt, according to the Chinese Embassy in Cairo, which also handed out food and water to Chinese at Cairo’s airport.

The foreign ministries in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark on Sunday advised against all nonessential travel to Egypt and tour companies canceled trips to the country until Feb. 23.

Britain’s Foreign Office estimates there are around 30,000 U.K. tourists and long-term residents in Egypt, but it said Monday it has no plans to evacuate British citizens. Foreign Secretary William Hague has advised against all but essential travel to Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor and Suez and recommended that people currently in those cities leave on commercial flights when they can.
