Pardon our mistake: Ben Ali's the one in coma in Saudi Arabia ...

we are getting our despots & comas all mixed up. Blame it on BBC, AFP & Reuters 

"... Tunisia's deposed former president is in a coma after suffering a stroke in exile in Saudi Arabia, according to the AFP news agency, the BBC says. AFP cites a family friend of the former head of state, Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali. Reuters quotes a Saudi source as saying the 74-year-old Ben Ali is in "grave condition" at a hospital in Jeddah, where he and his family fled last month after a popular uprising...French journalist and Tunisia expert Nicolas Beau reported that Ben Ali had been admitted to a Saudi hospital favoured by the royal family but had been registered under a false name for security reasons. He said that Tunisia's interim president had been informed of Ben Ali's predicament two days ago...French media reported that Ben Ali's wife Leila, whose lavish consumption made her a hate figure in Tunisia, was not at her husband's side and might be in Libya."
