JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - Indonesia's president said ex-dictator Suharto was in "serious condition" after visiting him in the hospital Friday. Suharto, who was ousted after 32 years in power in 1998 amid nationwide riots and student protests, underwent surgery two weeks ago to stem intestinal bleeding.
Doctors said Thursday's tests showed that Suharto's condition has sharply deteriorated in the last year. "His brain functions have declined," neurologist Dr. Yusuf Misbach was quoted as saying by the official news agency Antara. "After suffering from strokes, his brain tissues have shrunk, and now it gets more visibly obvious," he said. "The hollow space in his brain has become wider."
"We think some of the $600 million he stole is hiding in there, but we'll need to run more tests to be sure." |
