BREAKING NEWS 05.DEC.08

(21:00 Hrs Cyprus) Former Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos is in critical condition tonight at Nicosia General Hospital.



The former president has been in intensive care since November 22, when he was admitted with breathing problems.



According to sources at the hospital, Papadopoulos' condition had deteriorated rapidly in the past 48 hours.



Last week it was announced that Papadopoulos was suffering from lung cancer.



He has been a heavy smoker since his teens.



As president between 2003-2008, Papadopoulos ushered the island into the European Union after rallying Greek Cypriots to reject a UN-brokered reunification plan.
