Abbas not stable yet; was visiting buddy in hospital
 Palestinian Authority President Mahmud Abbas visited an ailing leader of his party in hospital on Tuesday, and told journalists he was fine after reports that he himself had been hospitalised. A medical source had said Abbas had been admitted to a Ramallah hospital, without giving details. But Abbas emerged from his visit to the bedside of a Fatah leader who had suffered a stroke overnight on Monday, saying: "I've been visiting our brother Sakher Habash who had a stroke. I myself don't have any health problems." Last June Abbas had undergone medical tests at Amman in Jordan where officials said the 70-year-old had been given a cardiac catherization (a test to explore the condition of the heart) and the result had been "very satisfactory".
