In a macabre turn of events, ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has been hospitalized in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. Mubarak, who was thrown from office in a massive uprising, was being questioned on corruption and embezzlement charges when he reportedly suffered a heart attack. 

Protesters are outside the hospital—one had a sign reading "Here is the butcher." As for the investigation, the prosecutor didn’t outline exactly what the charges are, and Mubarak’s sons Alaa and Gamal have also been summoned, and his assets in several countries around the world have been frozen and are under investigation.
