Egypt's Hosni Mubarak in hospital after 'heart attack'



Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is in intensive care after suffering a heart attack, say state media.
He was taken ill while meeting prosecutors investigating the
killing of hundreds of protesters and allegations of corruption, reports
say.
The manager of the hospital in Sharm el-Sheikh said Mr Mubarak's condition was "almost stable".
Mr Mubarak, 82, stood down on 11 February following an 18-day popular uprising against his rule.
State TV quotes medical sources as saying that Mr Mubarak,
had refused to eat or drink since being summoned by the public
prosecutor on Sunday.
Mr Mubarak's two sons, Alaa and Gamal, are also under
investigation and are being questioned at the prosecutor's office in
al-Tor in South Sinai governorate, where the former president is said to
have been when he suffered the reported medical emergency.
Scuffles
"There is a state of confusion inside the hospital and only
patients are allowed in," Ashraf Swaylam, a news reporter for the
state-run station Nile TV, said earlier.
The hospital was accepting no patients except for emergency cases, another local media report said.
Protesters picketed the hospital, denouncing the president
and carrying a sign reading "Here is the butcher", AP news agency
reported. They scuffled with supporters of Mr Mubarak.
Mr Mubarak underwent gall bladder surgery in the German city
of Heidelberg last year and there were reports that he had remained in
poor health, although his aides had denied this.
A BBC correspondent says it is understood that the former
president's doctors had asked Egypt's ruling military council for
permission to send him back to Germany for treatment, but that this was
refused.
Mr Mubarak has been banned from leaving the country, along
with his sons and their wives, and the family's assets have been frozen.

In a pre-recorded audio message on Sunday, he broke his
silence of the last two months to say his reputation and that of his
sons had been damaged and he would work to clear their names.
Square cleared
Correspondents say he has been keeping a low profile in Sharm
el-Sheikh, a Red Sea resort, after fleeing to his holiday villa there
when he was overthrown.
In a separate development, soldiers and police are said to
have ended a five-day occupation of Cairo's Tahrir Square by hundreds of
protesters.
They had been demanding civilian rule and swifter prosecution of disgraced former officials, principally Mr Mubarak.
There were clashes on the first night of the occupation and tensions had remained high
