Egypt's ousted President Hosni Mubarak has been moved to an army hospital from his prison clinic.

A public prosecutor, Talaat Abdallah, ordered his transfer based on recommendations from doctors, the state news agency Mena reported.

In June, Mubarak was sentenced to life in prison for his role in killing protesters during the 2011 uprising. The prosecutor's office has also revealed it ordered an investigation into accusations that opposition leaders, including Nobel laureate Mohamed ElBaradei, tried to incite others to overthrow the Morsi regime.
