Comment: It seems as though Mubarak's comatose situation has become a bit of a mystery. This story has been picked up by CBS News, stating that the Germans are rejecting the rumors of Mubarak being in Germany at the present time. SOTT will continue to update this story as it progresses.
We have learned through foreign sources that Hosni Mubarak was flown this morning to a Baden hospital in Germany after falling into a coma. The report was confirmed this morning by Bahrain daily Al Wasat who indicated that just prior to leaving for his resort in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Mubarak became comatose.
Apparently, prior to delivering his last speech on national Egyptian television, we also learned that Mubarak had fainted. This is the explanation given for the delay between the announcement of his anticipated speech and his actual appearance several hours later.
His fragile state of health was also cited as the reason for which the army did not insist that he leave earlier.
Beginning on January 25th, 2011, Egypt witnessed massive popular protests calling for the end of its dictatorship regime, starting with the resignation of Mubarak.
Last year, we reported that Hosni Mubarak had been hospitalized in Germany for gall bladder surgery, but it was also revealed that the Egyptian President suffered from terminal cancer.
" Hosni Mubarak had been hospitalized in Germany for gall bladder surgery, but it was also revealed that the Egyptian President suffered from terminal cancer". So he was fading anyway, huh. "They" probably said, since he is going anyways lets get more bang for the buck, make some cash, cause some mayhem and put our new guy in.
