Cairo: Conflicting
reports emerged Sunday on the whereabouts of Egypt's former
president Hosni Mubarak, as the state news agency claimed he was in
a Sharm el-Sheikh hospital while an Egyptian newspaper stated he had
been transferred to a medical centre 42 km east of Cairo.
Mubarak is still in a Sharm el-Sheikh hospital with his wife
Suzanne, Egypt's state news agency MENA quoted an official source as
saying Sunday.
However, Al-Ahram newspaper reported on its website that Mubarak has
been transferred by a military helicopter to the International
Medical Center, 42 km east of Cairo.
He will stay there until the end of his interrogation on charges of
corruption and ordering the killing of protesters, it added.
Mubarak was sent to the Sharm el-Sheikh hospital Tuesday after
suffering heart problems while being interrogated by prosecutors.
Egyptian prosecutor General Abdel-Meguid Mahmoud Wednesday ordered a
15-day detention for Mubarak on charges which include ordering the
killing of protesters, embezzlement of public funds and abuse of
power.
The prosecutor general issued an order Friday to move Mubarak to a
military hospital.
Mubarak's two sons, Alaa and Gamal, were sent to the Tora prison in
Cairo Wednesday, awaiting investigations.
Mubarak, one of the longest serving rulers in the Arab world, bowed
to vociferous demands of determined protesters calling for an end to
his rule that began Oct 14, 1981 when he took over after the
assassination of president Anwar el-Sadat at a military parade in
Cairo. He stepped down Feb 11, 2011.
