Dalai Lama in Indian hospital for tests for abdominal discomfort, says his spokesman

MUMBAI, India (AP) _ The Dalai Lama was admitted to a hospital in this western Indian city on Thursday to undergo tests for abdominal discomfort, his spokesman said.

"Since tests haven't begun yet, we don't know what the ailment is," Tenzin Takla told The Associated Press. "Medical tests will begin on Friday."

The Dalai Lama's office in Dharmsala said Wednesday that the 73-year-old Tibetan spiritual leader was suffering from exhaustion and would cancel two planned international trips.

On Thursday, Takla said he was "admitted to hospital because of some abdominal discomfort."
