ALGIERS (Reuters) - Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's health is "fine" and he has returned to Algeria after a check-up at a Paris hospital this week, a source close to the presidency said on Thursday.
Bouteflika, 76, left the North African oil producing state for France on Monday and had been scheduled to leave the Paris hospital again on Friday after what the state news agency APS said was routine checks. He suffered a stroke early last year.
