Mubarak in Stable Condition After Health Crisis 
------------------------------------------------


 
Ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is reportedly in stable
condition after reports of a severe health crisis sparked rumors the
imprisoned former leader had already died. Mubarak was said to be
slipping in and out of consciousness and experiencing severe depression,
and there were reports doctors at the prison hospital had used a
defibrillator twice to resuscitate him on Monday. The 84-year old
Mubarak was sentenced to life in prison earlier this month for his role
in the killings of peaceful protesters during the uprising that ended
his rule last year. His health problems come just days before a runoff
presidential election between his former prime minister, Ahmed Shafiq,
and the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate Mohammed Morsi.
