Yemen president calls in US ambassador

None

emen's president has called in the United States ambassador and told him he would sign a deal to step down, a US official said. The embattled leader, who has made that pledge several times before, spoke as violence shook his capital.

 

On Tuesday, President Ali Abdullah Saleh informed Ambassador Gerald Feierstein of a new cease-fire, but clashes on the streets threw that into doubt. Activists said seven protesters were killed and 10 wounded. (AP)
