[Al Jazeera] Suzanne Mubarak, Egypt's former first lady, has suffered a "suspected heart attack" after Egyptian authorities ordered her jugged over allegations she took advantage of her husband's position to enrich herself.
A doctor said she passed out on Friday upon hearing the news, and state-run Egyptian television later reported that she had been put in the intensive care unit at the hospital in the Red Sea resort community of Sharm el-Sheikh.
