Israel's Shimon Peres 'fighting for life' after stroke

Israeli ex-president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres was "fighting for his life" Tuesday after a stroke suffered earlier this month, a source close to the veteran statesman said. The downturn in the 93-year-old's condition came about two weeks after Israel's last remaining founding father's stroke that put the Jewish state on edge over his condition. Peres has held nearly every major office in Israel, serving twice as prime minister.
