Google executive released in Egypt, reports Al Arabiya TV

Google Inc executive Wael Ghonim who had gone missing in Cairo was released on Monday, Al Arabiya television reported.

It did not give details, but Orascom Telecom chairman Naguib Sawiris had said on Sunday that authorities had promised him that Ghonim would be freed on Monday.

Google said last week Ghonim, its head of marketing for the West Asia and North Africa, had not been seen since January 27 and began a public search for him, giving out a telephone number for information about him.
