Egypt’s Mubarak reported in coma, off life support
CAIRO (AP) — Hosni Mubarak was in a coma today but off life support and his heart and other vital organs were functioning, according to security officials. Overnight, state media reported that the 84-year old former president, ousted in last year’s uprising and now serving a life sentence in prison, suffered a stroke and was put on life support. He was transferred to a military hospital from the Cairo prison hospital where he has been kept since his June 2 conviction and sentencing for failing to stop the killing of protesters during the uprising.
