CAIRO (Reuters) - Deposed Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak broke his leg on Thursday after falling while walking to the bathroom at a Cairo military hospital where he is being held, his lawyer and a military source at the hospital told Reuters. Mubarak, 86, fractured the top of his left thigh bone, both sources said.
Mubarak's lawyer Fareed El-Deeb said that this client was "in a very dangerous situation after his fall" and that he would have a "major operation" later in the day. Deeb has frequently highlighted the age and frailty of his client.
