Cairo: Former
Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, who was Wednesday sent to 15
day's detention along with his two sons on charges of using
violence against protesters, abuse of power and embezzlement of
public funds, has suffered a second heart attack, a media report
said.
The former president's health has deteriorated further, AKI
reported citing the Youm7 website.
Egypt's Prosecutor General Abdel-Meguid Mahmoud Wednesday ordered
the detention of Mubarak and his sons, Alaa and Gamal, the
official MENA news agency said.
Mubarak now might be admitted to a military hospital in Cairo,
Youm7 said. He had suffered a heart attack during questioning by
prosecutors.
He and his sons face charges of use of violence against
protesters, power abuse and embezzlement of public funds, MENA
said.
Mubarak's sons arrived at the Tora prison in southern Cairo
Wednesday morning, according to Xinhua.
They "turned in their civil outfits, mobile phones, wallets and
all other belongings to be put inside the prison's safe" after
they got out of the police vehicles, it said.
Looking "bewildered and distressed", they declined to eat
breakfast and only asked for bottles of water from the prison's
cafeteria.
Mubarak, 82, was hospitalised Tuesday in Sharm el-Sheikh tourist
resort after suffering a heart attack during questioning by
prosecutors.
He had refused to eat or drink after learning Tuesday morning that
he was to be questioned by the investigators, sources said.
He will be moved to a military hospital in Cairo, where he will
undergo further investigation, the state-run al-Ahram newspaper
reported.
Mubarak has suffered from health problems in recent years and went
to Germany for gall bladder surgery in March 2010.
Egypt's justice ministry said the questioning of Mubarak will
resume in the hospital after his health stabilises.
Mubarak was forced to quit power after a 30-year rule following 18
days of nationwide demonstrations which left some 384 people dead.
He resigned Feb 11 and left for the Red Sea resort city of Sharm
el-Sheikh, from where he hails.
Mubarak has denied all accusations in an audio tape aired by Al-Arabiya
TV.
