President Saleh vows to return to Yemen 'soon'
None
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh said on Tuesday he would return home "soon" from his convalescence in Saudi Arabia after an assassination attempt and accused the opposition of hijacking a protest movement that is demanding he quits.
In a speech broadcast live to a gathering of tribesmen loyal to Saleh, he invited the opposition to go to the ballot box to end Yemen's political crisis, which has dragged into its seventh month. "See you soon in Sanaa," said Saleh at the end of his speech, which was watched by an audience of some 6,000 tribesmen in the Yemeni capital. (Reuters)
