Yemeni President Saleh Arrives in New York 
-------------------------------------------



Yemeni President President Ali Abdullah Saleh has arrived in New York
after being granted State Department approval. A Yemeni official said
Saleh is on a "short-term private medical visit." He was seriously
wounded in June, when the presidential palace in Sana'a was bombed.
Saleh arrived in the United States one week after Yemen’s Parliament
granted him blanket amnesty and granted all those who served with him
immunity from prosecution for using deadly force against anti-government
protesters over the past year.
