Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt was exposed to a minor health problem when he was delivering a speech in the inauguration of the parliamentary session of the Shoura council and the parliament yesterday. A matter which obliged him to stop his address before he returned back once again to continue it after a while.

The anchor of the Egyptian TV at the Egyptian people's assembly ( Parliament) said that "President Mubarak was exposed to a simple health crisis that forced him to stop his speech 20 minutes after its beginning."

The Egyptian TV stopped its broadcast suddenly after the President started to hesitate while delivering it. He took a handkerchief from his pocket while delivering the speech and started to dry his sweat from his face.

The TV said that the doctors follow up his health conditions outside of the hall.

The Egyptian minister of Information Safwat al-Sharif announced last Saturday that Mubarak ( 75 year old) had a cold and had decided to postpone the inauguration of the parliamentary session of the parliament and the Shoura council from last Sunday until yesterday ( Wednesday).
