Mubarak Heart Attack

 There is word that former Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak has suffered a heart attack. The former strongman is 82 and was reportedly in poor health before the popular uprising that threw him out of power earlier this year.
 From FoxNews:

The ex-leader was taken to a hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh two days after reports that he was about to be summoned for questioning.

"Mubarak was admitted to the Sharm el-Sheikh International Hospital this afternoon, amid a very heavy security presence in the town," a security source said.

A hospital source refused to comment on the news and said that "the minister of health will make an announcement" shortly.

Mubarak was admitted by his bodyguards to the VIP wing of the hospital, state television reported, adding that the hospital was not accepting any patients except for emergency cases.

Police cars and ambulances surrounded the hospital, as well as a heavy military police presence, state television said.
