Mobutu Undergoes Surgery for Bleeding

Mobutu Sese Seko, the ailing former leader of Zaire, was in good condition after undergoing surgery for serious bleeding, the official Moroccan news agency MAP said. Mobutu, 66, suffering from prostate cancer, was brought to Rabat, the Moroccan capital, from the northern town of Tangier on Friday and admitted to a hospital. Police were on duty at the facility, and at least half a dozen official cars were parked outside. After more than three decades in power, Mobutu was ousted in May following a seven-month rebellion, and the country was renamed the Democratic Republic of Congo.
