Yemen’s Saleh More Serious Injured Than Indicated
No surprise that loyalists to Yemen’s Ali Abdullah Saleh have understated the seriousness of the injuries that he sustained in the rocket attacks that injured or killed several within his coterie.
He is in Saudi Arabia receiving medical treatment. Western diplomats are indicating that he’s undergone neurosurgery to treat his injuries, but Yemeni spokesmen are saying that the injuries are minor.
When you’ve got a regime under assault and is essentially fighting a civil war, it’s little wonder that the Saleh loyalists are trying to downplay the seriousness of the injuries.
