BAGHDAD, Nov 19 (Reuters): Senior Iraqi Shi'ite leader Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, recently returned from Iran, said Monday that he had recovered from lung cancer.
Hakim heads the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council (SIIC), the biggest party in Iraq's Shi'ite-dominated government. He was seen on television greeting followers and Shi'ite Iraqi Vice President Adel Abdul-Mahdi.
"Thank God I have been healed completely as the doctors showed and told us, and thank God we finished the various and difficult therapy phases," Hakim said in an Iraqi television interview.
