THE health of former Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak is deteriorating and he has refused to travel abroad for treatment, the Saudi-owned daily Asharq al-Awsat said yesterday.
A military source said Mubarak was "breathing" but would not give details. Another Egyptian source who had been close to the presidency said: "He is okay."
"What is certain is that his state of health is declining drastically, in addition there is information that he is refusing to receive the required medical treatment," the paper said in an online edition, quoting a former security official affiliated to the Egyptian military high command.
The Higher Military Council took over the country after Mubarak resigned last Friday following weeks of protests against his 30-year rule.
The report said Mubarak, 82, had refused advice to travel to Germany for treatment. He underwent gallbladder surgery there last year.
"Mubarak is refusing this (travel abroad)," the paper said, quoting its source. "He has asked those around him to allow him to die in his country, and I believe this is just a matter of time."
