Mubarak to be taken to a military hospital in Cairo

The Egyptian prosecutor ordered Sunday that the ousted President Hosni Mubarak is transferred to a military hospital in Cairo after attending the doctors ruled that he is able to travel. The exmandatario will be admitted to this facility, whose location is not specified for safety reasons, pending his transfer to hospital in the Tora prison outside Cairo, which is not yet prepared to receive him.

Mubarak, who left office and left the Egyptian capital on Feb. 11 pushed by the popular movement, took refuge in Sharm el-Sheikh on the Red Sea. 13 days ago, during a judicial interrogation on charges of abuse of power and corruption, the former leaders suffered a heart attack that forced his hospitalization in Sharm el Sheikh.
