Iraq:Iraqi president Jalal Talabani is suffering from extreme exhaustion and dehydration but his life is not in danger, his office said yesterday, a day after he was flown to Jordan for medical tests.
"The initial results of the medical tests showed that his condition is completely normal and stable. There is no need to worry. The vital and basic parts of his body are all in good condition," a statement said.
"His excellency has suffered from extreme fatigue which led to the loss of liquids from his body, causing fatigue and dehydration." It added that Mr Talabani was fully conscious and in good spirits. Officials denied a report he had had heart surgery.
