Indonesian Muslim leader operated on after stroke

The leader of Indonesia's largest Muslim organization has undergone brain surgery after collapsing with a stroke on Monday.

Abdurrahman Wahid, usually known as Gus Dur, leads the Nahdlatul Ulama organization, which has thirty-million members.

He has recently criticized President Suharto, calling onhim to stand down in March rather than seek a seventh term in office.
