dailytelegraph- FORMER Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak suffered a heart attack during questioning by prosecutors investigating graft and abuse allegations which prompted his admission to the hospital overnight, state television said.
The ex-leader was taken to a hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh two days after reports that he was about to be summoned for questioning.
"Mubarak was admitted to the Sharm el-Sheikh International Hospital this afternoon, amid a very heavy security presence in the town," a security source said.
A hospital source refused to comment on the news and said that "the minister of health will make an announcement" shortly.
Mr Mubarak was admitted by his bodyguards to the VIP wing of the hospital, state television reported, adding that the hospital was not accepting any patients except for emergency cases.
Police cars and ambulances surrounded the hospital, as well as a heavy military police presence, state television said.
Mr Mubarak's admission to the hospital follows state media reports that he was due to be questioned imminently over violence against protesters and alleged corruption.
Ah, the old fake heart attack routine. I can't believe these Egyptian prosecutors actually fell for the oldest trick in the book. I guess they don't show Sanford and Son reruns in Egypt. Next he's gonna say that he had a stroke and he can't speak any more. If that doesn't work he could let a brick fall on his head, and then say he has amnesia.
And wouldn't you know it, once his wife was arrested and taken in for questioning she ALSO suffered a heart attack. Hmmm.
