毒理学家说米洛舍维奇吃错了药、布什演讲

*毒理学家说米洛舍维奇吃错了药

一名荷兰毒理学家说，已故前塞尔维亚领袖米洛舍维奇服用了药性很强的抗生素
，抵消了他服用的治疗心脏病和高血压的药物。

荷兰格罗宁根大学的毒理学专家唐纳德.乌盖斯星期一说，在前南斯拉夫总统米洛
舍维奇死前提取的血液抽样显示有一种治疗麻风病和肺结核的药物。而米洛舍维
奇没有患这些病。乌盖斯说，这种药物和米洛舍维奇服用的其他药物药效相反。
目前尚不清楚米洛舍维奇是如何得到这种处方抗生素的。

乌盖斯说，在米洛舍维奇的高血压症状没有对他的荷兰医生们开出的药物做出反
应后，有关当局让他对米洛舍维奇的血样进行检验。

初步验尸结果显示，64岁的米洛舍维奇死于心脏病发作。尸体的毒理检测结果目
前尚未公布。米洛舍维奇星期六死于联合国设在海牙的战争罪行法庭的拘留中心
里。他在那里接受审判。

Toxicologist Says Milosevic Took Wrong Medicine

A Dutch toxicologist says late Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic took
a powerful antibiotic that neutralized his medication for a heart cond
ition and high blood pressure.

Groningen University toxicology expert Donald Uges said today (Monday)
a blood sample taken before the former Yugoslav president died shows
traces of a drug (rifampicin) used to treat leprosy and tuberculosis -
conditions Milosevic did not have. Uges says the drug would have coun
tered the effects of Milosevic's other medicines.

It is not clear how Milosevic got the prescription antibiotic.
Uges says he was asked to examine Milosevic's blood sample after his
high blood pressure did not respond to medication prescribed by his Dutch doctors.
Preliminary autopsy results show the 64-year-old Milosevic died of a heart attack.
Post-mortem toxicology tests findings are still pending.
Milosevic died Saturday in his cell at the U.N. war crimes tribunal
detention center at The Hague where he was standing trial.

President Bush Speaks on Iraq and War on Terrorism Today

President Bush is due to give a speech today (Monday) on the war on
terrorism - the first in a series marking the three-year anniversary of
the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Mr. Bush is scheduled to deliver remarks today to the Foundation for D
efense of Democracies at George Washington University in Washington.
The president's speeches are part of a campaign to assure Americans the
administration has a strategy for success in Iraq.

Recent public opinion polls show nearly four of five Americans, including
70 percent of Mr. Bush's Republican Party, believe Iraq will disintegrate into civil war.

President Bush says he is optimistic about Iraq, and believes Iraqi leaders
recognize that sectarian violence in the country will undermine
their ability to self-govern.
