Egypt prosecutor mulls moving Mubarak to prison

CAIRO: Egypt's public prosecutor is considering moving ousted president Hosni Mubarak to jail or to a prison hospital pending health checks, his office said in a statement Thursday.

Abdel Magid Mahmud Mahmud has ordered a medical team to head to Sharm el-Sheikh where Mubarak is under arrest in hospital to "establish his latest health condition and the possibility of having him transferred to Tora prison or to the prison hospital," his office said. (AFP)
