RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will undergo a new procedure on Thursday following up on an unplanned surgery earlier this week for a brain bleed. Doctors say the the minimally invasive procedure aims to stop persistent bleeding on the surface of the brain. On Tuesday, the 79-year-old leftist leader underwent surgery for a brain bleed after suffering complications resulting from a fall at home in October. Doctors at the Sirio-Libanes hospital on Wednesday said Lula would undergo the second procedure on Thursday.
