CAIRO: The state-run al-Akhbar daily newspaper reported on Wednesday that former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was being treated in a Saudi Arabia hospital due to ill health. It is the latest report about the health of the former Egyptian leader, who was ousted on February 11. The military, now in power in Egypt, has not spoken on the newest report on the aging former dictator. A military source had denied on Tuesday another media report, which said Mubarak, 82, had tried to flee Egypt with his family but was later hospitalized in Cairo. Wednesday's edition of Al-Akhbar quoted “sources informed about the news,” saying Mubarak was in the Saudi city of Tabuk receiving chemotherapy for one hour, every five days, to treat colon and pancreatic cancer. His family was reportedly with him in the private wing of the military hospital. BM
