Mubarak cancels major appearance
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has canceled another major appearance amid increasing fears of his health. Mubarak canceled a major meeting with his government on Saturday. Instead, the president flew to Sharm el-Sheik for what was termed by Egyptian sources as a vacation of several days. The sources said Mubarak canceled his attendance of a meeting in Cairo on Saturday on orders from his physicians. On Wednesday, Mubarak was said to have collapsed during a speech to parliament. Mubarak has been weakened by a combination of flu and low blood pressure, the sources said. But the Egyptian president has reduced his public appearances steadily over the last few months amid reports that he has been growing weaker.
