280 more stranded Indians in Egypt return home

The Air India flight - AI-800 - carrying the Indians landed here at 2.30 a.m., an official said.

This is the second flight to Mumbai in Air India's efforts to bring back the Indians stuck in different Egyptian cities. One flight with 320 passengers arrived Monday.

Flight schedules in and out of Egypt have been disrupted in the past few days after anti-government protests broke out in the country to press for the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak, who has been in power for more than three decades.

Over 100 people have been killed and hundreds injured in the clashes. Around 1,000 people have been arrested across the country since the protests broke out seven days ago against the Mubarak government.
