Report: Yemen's Saleh to stay in Saudi for now

None

Yemen's wounded President Ali Abdullah Saleh will stay in Saudi Arabia until doctors declare him fit, a Yemeni official said on Friday, denying reports that Saleh could come back in time for this weekend's 33rd anniversary of his ascent to power.

 

Speculation about Saleh's health and the likelihood of his return to Yemen have been rife since he flew to neighbouring Saudi Arabia for medical treatment last month following an assassination attempt. Yemen ruling party spokesman Tarek al-Shami denied media speculation that Saleh could come back by July 17. (Reuters)
