Aging former Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak was rushed to the hospital in Sharm al-Sheik today when he had an apparent heart attack just before a planned interrogation for graft and human rights abuses.
Mubarak, who has been in poor health, was in intensive care, but officials with the hospital say he has already stabilized his condition and is able to be questioned again. The protesters who removed Mubarak from power earlier this year have been demanding he be brought to account for the violent crackdowns against dissent.
But the issue isn’t so cut and dry for officials, as the Egyptian state media is speculating that Mubarak’s “heart issue” may have been a ploy to escape interrogation. He has been in the resort town of Sharm al-Sheik since his ouster.
Mubarak issued a recorded video statement on state television over the weekend denying the charges, saying that he behaved appropriately at all times and that the allegations were all lies. He also suggested he would file lawsuits against his critics to protect his reputation.
What a shocker, the puppet gets a heart attack right before an interrogation.
Surprising also. Perhaps he'll be able to replicate the Philippines, another dictator, Marcos ability to live in the USA for health reasons. It's the humane thing to do, well for USG supported dictators anyway. And we all know how our USG practices humanitarianism, don't we?
Drama queen. He does the crime but he doesn't wanna do the time. Either let him die and go straight to hell or put him on trial and send him straight to hell. Either way, justice will be done.
When would that happen in US and George W. Bush would be arrested.., or for that matter all others whom were involved in Iraq war.., and before that in Vietnam and Balkan wars and other countries that US been engaged in wars for last 60 years.., well take world war 2 out.., that would live US with 54 years of wars.
