(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Ousted Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak is not suffering from cancer despite his lawyers' claims about his illness, a new report has revealed.
"All medical examinations show that Mubarak does not have cancer," Egypt's Al-Ahram newspaper reported on Saturday.
Farid al-Deeb, the lawyer of Egypt's former president, had claimed that 83-year-old Mubarak suffers from stomach cancer and went into a coma last month.
The International Medical Center (IMC), where Mubarak is being treated, however, has reportedly denied al-Deeb's claims.
"The last medical report on the health of former president Hosni Mubarak has revealed that he suffered from kidney failure and heart problems," the Egyptian paper reported, citing a source at the IMC.
The source added that Mubarak is due to be tested again in the next few days, which will definitely verify the lawyers' claims, AFP reported.
Egypt's ex-president was ousted in February following weeks of anti-government protests in the North African nation that put an end to his three-decade rule.
Mubarak is on trial on charges of corruption and ordering the killing of hundreds of demonstrators.
Nearly 850 protesters were killed during the historic revolution in Egypt.
Mubarak is the first Arab leader to stand trial in person since popular uprisings began in the Arab world.
