Talabani's illness due to work pressure -- Presidential statement
BAGHDAD, Feb 25 (KUNA) -- Iraq's 74-year-old President Jalal Talabani has been rushed to Jordan for medical tests after falling ill due pressure of recent work, his office said on Sunday.
"Because of the continual hard work over the course of recent days, President Talabani has fallen ill. The doctors have asked for more tests and he has gone to Jordan," a statement on the president's website said.
"There is no reason to fear for his health, and we hope he will return in good health," the statement added.
Talabani is a Kurd and the first non-Arab to lead an independent Arab majority state.(Pick up previous) mhg.
