Sharon blinks his eyes: Hospital
Ariel Sharon blinked his eyes in front of members of his family yesterday but medics treating the coma-stricken Israeli premier said it was too early to assess the significance of the development.
A spokeswoman for the Hadassah hospital in Jerusalem, where Sharon has been treated since he suffered a massive brain haemorrhage on January 4, said members of his family spotted the 77-year-old blinking both of his eyes.
"He blinked -- both eyes -- but the medical significance of this is not clear," Yael Bossam-Levy told AFP.

Medical sources earlier said on condition of anonymity that Sharon had appeared to shed a tear while listening to a tape of his grandson.
Sharon's elder son Gilad was understood to be in the room at the time.
