CAIRO, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- Deposed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was unable to attend his trial in Cairo Tuesday due to inclement weather, officials said. Turbulence prevented Mubarak, 83, from being flown to court from the International Medical Center six miles outside the Egyptian capital, Ahram Online reported. Mubarak, his two sons and the country's former interior minister face charges they ordered the shooting of protesters during last year's 18-day uprising that toppled Mubarak.
