WASHINGTON – Veteran diplomat Richard Holbrooke, the president's special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, was in critical condition Saturday after surgery to repair a tear in his aorta.
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the surgery at George Washington University Hospital was completed Saturday morning on the 69-year-old Holbrooke and that his family was with him. He became ill on Friday while at work at the State Department.
