BRAZIL: President Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva is recovering in an intensive-care unit after undergoing surgery for an intracranial haemorrhage, the Sirio-Libanes hospital said in a statement today.

The procedure was performed after the president felt headaches doctors believed resulted from a fall at home in October.

The hospital said Lula is “well, under monitoring in an ICU bed” after the bleeding was drained.
