"Arab League chief and former Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr Moussa did not rule out seeking the country's presidency in an interview that is likely to fuel speculation about who could succeed President Hosni Mubarak.
Moussa, aged 73 and praised by many Egyptians and Arabs for criticism of both Israel and past U.S. Middle East policies, told Shorouk the next leader could also be Mubarak's politician son, Gamal Mubarak, 45.....
"It is the right of all citizens with the ability and competency to aspire to a position to participate in serving the homeland, including the top position of president of the republic," Moussa said in interview, excerpts of which were sent to Reuters. He said the rights and obligations of all citizens "hold true for me, for you and also for Gamal Mubarak....... "The confidence expressed by several citizens when they talk about my nomination makes me very proud, and I consider it a message that has without doubt reached me."
