PLO official Nabil Shaath was admitted to hospital on Sunday evening after suffering a heart attack while on-board a plane. The Fatah official was on a flight from Brussels to Malaysia when he had the heart attack, causing the plane to make an emergency landing in Amsterdam, a statement said. Shaath's wife Rajaa Abu Ghazela said that he was in a stable condition but would remain in hospital for surveillance. The PLO official had been visiting Denmark, Sweden and Belgium to garner diplomatic support for Palestine at the United Nations and was on-route to Malaysia.
