19/03/2010 Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Friday that doctors ordered him to rest after a fall left him with a bruised back.
Abbas was taken to a hospital in Amman, Jordan, for X-rays, which showed no broken bones.
The Palestinian leader has a home in Amman in addition to the one he has in the West Bank, and frequently stays in the Jordanian capital during layovers on trips in and out of the Palestinian territory.
"Thank God, I am in good health," Abbas said in a statement Friday, adding that doctors advised him to rest for a few days.
Aides said that Abbas, who turns 75 later this month, is also receiving physical therapy.
