Colin Powell has cancer operation


Mr Powell is one of the Bush administration's most familiar faces

US Secretary of State Colin Powell has been admitted to hospital in Washington for prostate cancer surgery.
His department said the admission was for "several" days and his workload would be reduced during his recovery.

Mr Powell spent Sunday in telephone talks with foreign ministers around the world on the capture of Saddam Hussein.

The top US diplomat since January 2001, Mr Powell is a familiar figure on the world's diplomatic stage and has a distinguished military background.

State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said the operation was being performed at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

There had been no hint before now that Mr Powell was unwell, BBC Washington correspondent Jon Leyne reports.

Only a couple of weeks ago he was on a gruelling tour of Europe and North Africa and, in typical style, he visited three countries on one day.

Although Mr Powell is 66, our correspondent notes, he gets up at 0530 every morning and works out on an exercise bike.

Armitage steps in

Another spokesman for the State Department, Adam Ereli, described the operation as "routine intervention" and said it had been scheduled for some time.

President George W Bush had been notified two weeks in advance, he said.

However, State Department officials, including Mr Powell's own aides, only learned of the operation at a staff meeting on Monday morning, reports say.

Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage is in charge of the State Department in Mr Powell's absence, Mr Ereli added.

There has already been much speculation that Mr Powell will leave the administration if President Bush wins a second term in office next year.

Monday's news can only increase the chances of Mr Powell taking that opportunity to go into retirement, our correspondent reports.
