Mubarak holds first cabinet meeting since surgery

Mubarak's last public appearance was on March 27, when he returned from Germany, where he underwent surgery three weeks earlier to remove his gall bladder and a growth on the small intestine.
The operation relaunched speculation on who would become Egypt's next president, as Mubarak has not said whether he will run in the 2011 election.
It is widely believed his younger son Gamal, 46, is being groomed to take over, though this has not been confirmed by either of them.
