Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas hospitalized, report says
A West Bank hospital official says Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will undergo a heart test after being hospitalized.
"There it is, black and shrunk, like a lump of misshapen coal, kinda like a deformed briquet"
The official says Abbas, 81, will undergo a cardiac catheterization, a procedure in which a thin tube is inserted into a blood vessel to examine the strength of his heart.

Abbas was taken to a hospital in the West Bank city of Ramallah after feeling "tired" Thursday, according to a Palestinian official.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the president's condition with the media.
"I can say no more"
Update from The Times of Israel at 6:20 p.m. ET:
After heart scare, doctors give Abbas clean bill of health

“His arteries look great, and there is no need for him to stay in the hospital,” heart specialist Dr. Mohammed al-Batrawi said. “He is leaving shortly.”
