| SULAIMANIYA - Iraqi President Jalal Talabani was greeted by a large cheering crowd as he returned to Iraq on Wednesday after two weeks in a Jordanian hospital where he was recovering from exhaustion. An official from TalabaniÂ’s political party said the Kurdish president was travelling to his party headquarters in the northern city of Sulaimaniya from the local airport. Talabani, a former Kurdish rebel leader in his early 70s, was flown to Jordan for medical tests on Feb. 25 for fatigue and blood pressure and had been recuperating in hospital since. It was not clear when he would return to work but an official from his party told Reuters he was in good health and would spend several days to rest in Sulaimaniya before returning to his office in Baghdad. |

| #1 And I thought his condition was stable. I guess there may be hope for all those in stable condition. |
