Mubarak in a coma, says his lawyer; hospital denies claims

Hosni Mubarak's lawyer, Farid El-Deeb, says ousted president has suffered a stroke, is in a coma.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - However, a medical official at the hospital where Mubarak has been held under arrest denied the report and said his condition is stable.

El-Deeb said Sunday that doctors were working to bring the 83-year-old Mubarak back to consciousness.

Meanwhile the hospital has countered the claims: "Mubarak's condition remains stable and he falls into coma occasionally so nothing is new in his condition," a doctor in the Sharm El-Sheikh International Hospital told Reuters. He asked not to be named.
