| Iraq's most influential Shia leader, Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, is in a stable condition after undergoing a heart operation in London. The ayatollah's London office said the 73-year-old cleric had an angioplasty procedure to unblock a coronary artery. He had flown into London on 6 August for treatment at the world-renowned Harefield heart hospital. Ayatollah Sistani's London office said on Friday: "There were no adverse side effects during this operation and his health is currently stable." |

| #2 That's one bastard that could do with catching MRSA - our socialized hospitals (ie the NHS) are riddled with it. |
