Surgery on Shah
NZPA-Reuter Cairo The former Shah of’ftan will have his cancerous spleen removed within the next few days, the official Middle East News Agency has reported. Dr Fuad Nour, one of the medical team which has been conducting intensive tests on the deposed Shah since his arrival in Egypt from Panama on Monday, told M.E.N.A. that the.. Maadi military hospital had reached the same conclusions about the former Shah’s condition as had been diagnosed previously. The Egyptian President (Mr Anwar Sadat) told re-
porters earlier that the former Shah had accepted his offer top take permanent refuge in Egypt and that no amount -of criticisms from Iran would succeed- in forcing him out. ■■ “They may shout until the end of the world,” President Sadat, said in reference to big anti-Egyptian protests in Teheran. “We have accepted .the Shah as true Muslims not the Islam they'preach there.”
Although there was general indifference in Egypt to the former Shah’s arrival, the Opposition Socialist Labour Party said it opposed the decision to let him come.
