The doctor who visited kidnapped IDF soldier Cpl. Gilad Shalit said his condition was good and that he was wounded in his stomach and shoulder, a senior Palestinian official told Israel Radio late Friday.
The doctor's visit, which apparently took place on Thursday, came after pressure from Egypt led Damascus-based Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal to approve the checkup. The kidnappers had originally refused to allow a visit.
According to Palestinian sources, Shalit was wounded in his shoulder and stomach from shrapnel, but his wounds were treated and his life was not in danger.
Thank goodness--I would miss him on the "Today" show...
Dr. said of Shalit: "he was wounded in his stomach".
Good condition? Gut shot not good without follow-up care. We watch westerns. We know.
"his life was not in danger."

A Shrapnel wound is not gut-shot, necessarily.
And of course we believe everything Hamas says. Dead is stable too.
If an anonymous Palestinian source says it, it must be true! < /heavy_sarcasm>
