Yemeni President Returns Home

Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has returned to Yemen from Saudi Arabia after recieving medial treatment from injuries sustained an assassination¹ attempt bomb attack back in June.

Saleh's supporters have held various celebrations around the country upon his arrival. While anti-Saleh protesters demonstrated in capital Sanaa and the second largest city Taiz. Government troops have killed at least one protester in Sanaa and injuring dozens in Taiz.

Saleh's return came after six straight days of deadly clashes between his supporters and defected army troops backed by opposition² tribal³ rebels in the capital Sanaa, which killed at least 111 people and left nearly 1,000 injured.
