Egypt's attorney general forbids Mubarak from leaving country

Hosni Mubarak (R) and his family, including son Gamal (L), were prohibited from leaving Egypt on Tuesday.

Cairo, Egypt  -- Egypt's attorney general issued an order Tuesday prohibiting former President Hosni Mubarak and his family from leaving the country.
Attorney General Abdel Maguid Mahmoud also ordered Mubarak's assets frozen, according to state-run news website EgyNews.
The orders come amid reports of secret bank accounts owned by Mubarak's family totaling more than 200 million Egyptian pounds (U.S. $147 million), according to EgyNews.
Mahmoud ordered the freeze for property owned by Mubarak, his wife, Suzanne, his two sons Alaa and Gamal Mubarak, and their wives and children, EgyNews reported. The seizures include "movable properties, real estate, stocks, bonds and various financial assets."
It wasn't immediately clear how the order differed from one reported last week.

Mubarak, who resigned February 11 after 18 days of protest against his rule, is believed to be staying at his residence in Sharm el-Sheikh.
