Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak's health has "deteriorated," according to sources in Cairo, who say he's now on a ventilator because he's had difficulty breathing.

Mubarak was moved to Tora prison on Saturday after a Cairo court found him guilty of complicity to murder and sentenced him to life in prison. He had been held in custody before that in a Cairo hospital. Authorities in the prison denied a request by Mubarak to bring in his own doctors to supervise his condition.
