Cairo (ANTARA News/Reuters) - Egypt`s public prosecutor said on Sunday that a doctor declared ousted President Hosni Mubarak well enough to be transferred to a prison hospital in Cairo pending questioning over corruption and murder allegations.

"The public prosecutor has ordered the Interior Ministry to transfer former President Hosni Mubarak to Mazra`a hospital in Torah prison (in Cairo)" once the hospital is ready to receive him, the prosecutor said in a statement.

Mubarak took refuge in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh after a popular uprising ended his 30-year rule.

He was admitted to a hospital there with an unspecified illness the day that prosecutors ordered him detained for questioning. (*)
