Deposed Egyptian Leader Hosni Mubarak Celebrates 87 Birthday

Egypt's deposed longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak has celebrated his 87th birthday by waving to some 100 supporters gathered outside of a military hospital where he is being held in Cairo. The crowd gathered Monday held up photos of Mubarak and praised him with slogans of support, days before an expected May 9 verdict in his retrial on corruption charges. The corruption case concerns charges that Mubarak and his two sons embezzled millions of dollars of state funds over the course of a decade. The funds were meant to pay for renovating and maintaining presidential palaces but were instead allegedly spent on upgrading the family's private residences.
