Israeli PM Sharon Suffers Stroke

This time it doesn’t look good:

A few minutes later, Mor-Yosef emerged to say that initial tests showed Sharon had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, or bleeding inside his brain.

Addressing reporters in English, Mor-Yosef said Sharon had “massive bleeding and was being transferred to an operating theater.”

Sharon was taken to hospital after complaining of pain Wednesday night, less than three weeks after suffering a mild stroke and just hours before he was to undergo a heart procedure.

Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has taken over during a very delicate time in Israeli history, just shortly after the controversial Gaza pullout.
