Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher was hospitalized Sunday night for heart trouble, a doctor confirmed Monday.
The doctor at Wadi el-Nil Hospital, who would not give his
name, told The Associated Press that a report in the Al Messa newspaper about Maher's hospitalization was "correct", but would not provide further details.
Al Messa did not elaborate on the specific nature of the "heart trouble", but said Maher had "fully improved" after receiving treatment. It added he was in stable condition and would be released Tuesday.
Maher has a long history of heart trouble, the newspaper
added. In light of his condition, Maher cancelled a planned trip to Washington, which was to take place ahead of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak's scheduled visit with US counterpart George W. Bush. (Albawaba.com)
