Mubarak Hospitalized In Sharm El-Sheikh

April 12, 2011

Reports quoting unidentified Egyptian security and health officials say former President Hosni Mubarak has been hospitalized in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, where he has been living since his overthrow in February.

The 82-year-old Mubarak gave up power on February 11 following a popular uprising against his rule.

Mubarak had been expected to be questioned by investigators for the first time in connection with corruption allegations and violence against protesters during the uprising.

He has since kept a low profile.

Near the end of his rule, he had been suffering from a number of health problems and had undergone gallbladder surgery.
