Report: Ariel Sharon Suffers Minor Stroke

JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was taken to a Jerusalem hospital Sunday night after feeling ill while working in his office, a hospital spokeswoman said. A TV report said he suffered a minor stroke.

The TV report said roads around Hadassah Hospital were closed before Sharon, 77, arrived in his official vehicle. Channel 10 TV, quoting police sources, said Sharon apparently lost consciousness.

He was taken directly to the emergency room of the hospital, the media reports said. Officials in Sharon's office were not available for comment.

Channel 10 reported that Sharon regained consciousness shortly after arriving at the hospital and quoted hospital officials it did not identify as saying he apparently suffered a minor stroke.

Channel 2 TV said he was taken into the hospital on a stretcher.

Hospital spokeswoman Yael Bossem-Levy said Sharon was undergoing tests. She would not give additional details.

She told Israel TV that as far as she knew, Sharon was conscious.
