Sri Lanka's former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka severely ill

A website in Sri Lanka reported today that the former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka is suffering from a severe bronchitis.

Fonseka who is jailed now was admitted into Nawaloka private hospital last week following a court order due to serious illness.

Fonseka has been provided with nebulizer treatment every four hours, sources close to his family said to media.

Hospital sources say that Fonseka will have to stay in hospital for a number of days. The website reported that his lawyers will submit his medical report to court this week.

Fonseka's wife Anoma Fonseka said that Fonseka had been given equipment for nebulizing in his prison cell but it had not been carried out properly.

Fonseka sustained serious lung injuries in a suicide attack of the Tamil terrorists as he was serving as the Army Commander.
