Mubarak transferred to military hospital

Egypt's state prosecutor decided to transfer ex-president Hosni Mubarak from a Sharm el-Sheikh hospital to a military one, from which he will be moved to prison when his health improves, state media reported.

Abdel Maguid Mahmud "decided to transfer the former president Hosni Mubarak to one of the military hospitals", the official news agency reported yesterday.



Mubarak would remain "detained under preventive custody with the obligation of informing the state prosecution as soon his health improves and the opportunity arises to move him to a prison".

Mubarak suffered a heart attack earlier this week during questioning by prosecutors over his alleged involvement in the deaths of anti-regime protesters.
