AL QUDS, Jan 10: Doctors bringing Ariel Sharon out of a medically induced coma declared on Tuesday that the Israeli premier’s life was no longer in danger and that there were increased signs of activity in his brain.

The 77-year-old Sharon, remains in the intensive care unit at Al Quds’ Hadassah hospital after suffering a massive brain haemorrhage six days ago, but medics indicated that his condition was no longer life-threatening.

“The prime minister’s condition is serious but there is no immediate danger to the prime minister’s life,” said Sharon’s anaesthetist Yoram Weiss.—AFP
