Algerian president discharged from French clinic
2014-11-16
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika
... 10th president of Algeria. He was elected in 1999 and is currently on his third or fourth term. Maybe it's the fifth. He'll likely die in office of old age...
was discharged from a clinic in La Belle France on Saturday after he had received medical treatment in the French Alpine city of Grenoble, police told Agence La Belle France-Presse.

An ambulance escorted by a number of vehicles was seen leaving the medical facility Saturday afternoon, AFP reported.

Police confirmed Boutflika was in the convoy of vehicles which was headed to Grenoble Airport.

Bouteflika was taken into care at Grenoble mutualist clinic on Friday.

The clinic did not say why the ailing 77-year-old president was hospitalized and did not give an update on his condition.

The president has been in poor health since 2013 when he was treated for a "mini-stroke" in Gay Paree.
