Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has died according to ” unconfirmed reports,” the Iranian regime-controlled Fars News Agency reported Thursday.
Fars is notoriously known for posting propaganda based on more imagination than fact, but it would be rare if not stupid for it to headline the death of Mubarak without any first-hand knowledge except for an unnamed doctor.
Or, perhaps Fars is setting the stage to make a claim that Egypt is covering up his death.
In any case, Fars wrote that there are “contradictory reports” concerning Mubarak, who is in the hospital for a bunch of well-deserved medical problems.
Fars added, “One of the physicians at the same hospital, who is not a member of Mubarak’s medical team, confirmed his death.
“The source said he was told Mubarak experienced massive heart attack and doctors ‘failed to rescue him despite lengthy CPR effort.'”
