SANAA: Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh told King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia Tuesday that his health was “constantly improving” as he receives treatment in a Saudi hospital for blast wounds sustained in a bomb attack, Yemen's official Saba news agency said.
Saleh thanked the king for the care he was receiving and said his health was “good,” Saba said.
The Yemeni leader, who has faced five months of nationwide protests against his 33-year rule, was wounded in a June 3 bomb blast in the mosque of his presidential compound as clashes raged on the streets of Sanaa between dissident tribesmen and loyalist troops.
He was flown to Riyadh for treatment.
