Iraqi media released new pictures Thursday of president Jalal Talabani, who has been in Germany since December 2012 after suffering a stroke, with the Kurdish leader appearing in good health. The images, published by media loyal to Talabani's Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, come with campaigning having officially begun ahead of April 30 parliamentary elections and the PUK struggling to fend off a challenge from a breakaway faction. "We have been informed by his private doctor that Talabani's health is improving, and he has a desire to return to the country," said Adnan Mufti, a member of the PUK's political ******. "But we are waiting for permission and instructions from his doctors." They are the third set of pictures released to the public since Talabani left more than a year ago for Germany to receive treatment after suffering a stroke.
