CAIRO, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Google Inc executive Wael
Ghonim, who went missing in Cairo, has been released and is on
his way home, a family member told Reuters on Monday.
"Yes, we spoke to Wael. He has been released and he is on his
way home," a member of his family told Reuters by telephone. It
was not clear who or what organisation had been holding him.
Google said last week that Ghonim, its head of marketing for
the Middle East and North Africa, had not been seen since Jan.
27 and began a public search for him, giving out a telephone
number for information about him.
