Army Chief ‘stable’, say doctors
Army Commander Sarath Fonseka who was seriously injured in the LTTE suicide bomb attack at Army Headquarters has still not regained full consciousness and is still on a ventilator, a surgeon said.

The surgeon who was involved in the three-hour operation said the situation at one point was “touch and go” but the Commander pulled through.

He said they hoped to remove the ventilator soon and were confident the commander, with several battle wounds before, would recover. National Hospital Director Hector Weerasinghe, however, said the Army Commander’s condition was “stable” though medical staff at the intensive care unit were constantly monitoring the situation.
