Algeria's President Not Dead
[An Nahar] The health of Algerian President Abdelaziz  Bouteflika... 10th president of Algeria. He was elected in 1999 and is currently on his third or fourth term, who will probably die in office of old age... , hospitalized in La Belle France last month after suffering a mini-stroke, has "significantly improved," the presidency announced on Tuesday. Bouteflika's health "has significantly improved" but the 76-year-old president must observe "a normal period of rest prescribed by his doctors," it said in a statement carried by the national APS news agency. The presidency said the tests carried out at a military hospital in Algiers on April 27 after he suffered a "transient ischemia," had shown that the state of his health "did not raise any concerns."
