From Legal News Line:
Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff has been forced to cancel his upcoming trip to Israel as he recovers from emergency leg surgery this week, a spokesman said.
Shurtleff has been to Israel on several occasions to discuss law enforcement issues and to help establish an American-Israeli friendship club in Salt Lake City.
The attorney general will be released from the hospital in the next few days, but will continue intravenous antibiotics treatments for six more weeks, spokesman Paul Murphy told reporters.
Doctors believe Shurtleff is suffering from a staph infection in his leg.
