Mubarak questioned, suffers heart attack
USTED Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak has been rushed to intensive care in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, after suffering a heart attack while being questioned by prosecutors.
“Former president Hosni Mubarak went into intensive care at the Sharm el-Sheikh International Hospital after suffering a heart attack,” the official MENA agency said.
Prosecutors had begun questioning Mubarak and his son Gamal earlier on Tuesday, Justice Minister Abdel Aziz al-Guindi was quoted as saying by MENA.
“But the questioning over acquiring wealth illegally has not yet started as that will be handled by the department of illicit gains,” Guindi said.
Earlier, a security official said that both sons, Alaa and Gamal were being questioned in the south Sinai capital of al-Tor, but headed back south to Sharm el-Sheikh after hearing their father had gone into intensive care.
