First granddaughter of Egypts Mubarak born
[Al Arabiya Latest] President Hosni Mubarak's son Gamal, thought by many to be his political heir apparent, became the father of a baby girl on Tuesday, the official MENA news agency reported."President Hosni Mubarak was blessed this morning with his first granddaughter, Farida, by his son Gamal Mubarak and Khadiga al-Gammal," MENA said, without providing details. Farida is the couple's first child. Mohammed, one of the president's two grandsons from his son, Alaa, died unexpectedly aged 12 last May. The president has worn a black tie in public since then. The news of Farida's birth came as Mubarak, 81, was recovering in hospital in Germany after surgery on March 6 to have his gall bladder and a growth on his small intestine removed, stoking uncertainty over his state of health. The medical team treating him at Heidelberg University Hospital said he had benign tissue removed. Members of his family have been by his bedside regularly, but the agency did not say where the baby girl was born nor whether Gamal Mubarak was at the birth. Posted by: Fred 2010-03-25 |
