CAIRO - Egypt's security authorities have received notice to move Hosni Mubarak to Cairo for trial, Al Arabiya television said on Tuesday, but a senior security source denied this, adding to the fevered speculation about whether the ousted leader will attend.
Mubarak, 83, has been hospitalized in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh since April when he was first questioned. His trial is scheduled for Wednesday.

But a senior South Sinai security source denied this to Reuters.
Demonstrators are likely to be enraged if Mubarak does not appear in the court that has been set up in a Police Academy complex where he addressed the nation two days before protests against his rule erupted on Jan. 25. He quit 18 days later.
