"The condition of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has undergone a sharp decline, British newspaper World Tribune reported Friday.

According to the report, Western intelligence sources said Mubarak, 79, collapsed last week before a scheduled visit to Saudi Arabia. Mubarak failed to attend the summit and has since been under close medical supervision.

"His condition is not life-threatening, but he is very weak," an intelligence source told the paper.
