Malnutrition leaves priest in critical state

KIDNAPPED Irish priest Michael Sinnott is in critical condition due to malnutrition and lack of medicine for his heart condition.

Although police and military intelligence sources yesterday confirmed that Fr Sinnott is still alive, local officials and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front said he is suffering from malnutrition and dysentery.

Sources from the MILF who were helping authorities locate the priest and his kidnappers said Fr Sinnott’s health is deteriorating due to lack of medicine needed for his heart condition.
