Hosni Mubarak out of coma, stable

Ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, who is under detention in a hospital, has regained consciousness after lapsing into a coma, a top hospital official has said. The 83-year-old ex-ruler, who is facing trial for corruption and murder, had fallen into a coma on Sunday at the Sharm el-Sheikh hospital. Mohamed Fathalla, the head of the Sharm el-Sheikh facility, said that Mubarak had recovered. "He is now stable after suffering a coma that did not last long," the CNN said.
