	Tweet

Yasser Arafat’s doctors have ruled out cancer after receiving the results of a blood test, a member of his medical team said Wednesday.

The diagnosis came a day after a hospital official said Arafat was suffering from a large gallstone.

On Wednesday, Arafat continued to rest, and broke his Ramadan fast for a second straight day, aides said, according to The AP.

A member of the medical team said a blood test showed no signs of cancer. The doctor said no further tests were expected. Israeli officials have speculated he was suffering from stomach cancer.
