Former Egyptian president Mubarak set free

Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has been freed from his detention, the BBC reported.

Mubarak,88, left a military hospital in southern Cairo and went to his home in the northern suburb of Heliopolis, his lawyer said. Mubarak was released after Egypt's top appeals court earlier this month cleared him over the deaths of protesters in the 2011 uprising.

Mubarak became president in 1981 after Anwar Sadat's assassination.

Talks continue over release of detained Korean workers. Departure uncertain.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport said the charter flight to transport the workers from Atlanta on Wednesday afternoon had been canceled. But, plans may change.
