Mubarak leaves hospital for trial

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt - Egypt's Hosni Mubarak left hospital in Sharm el-Sheikh on Wednesday to travel to Cairo where he will be tried for his role in killing protesters, the first Arab ruler to be put in the dock since uprisings swept the region, a security official said.

"Mubarak has left Sharm el-Sheikh hospital," Mohamed Naguib, head of security in South Sinai, told Reuters after a motorcade that included ambulances and security vehicles left the hospital in the Red Sea resort, headed for the local airport.
