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".
