Reports on death of Yemen’s President refuted

PanARMENIAN.Net - Yemen's President Ali Abdullah Saleh is alive and will soon make a nationwide address, a Yemeni government official said on June 3 in response to conflicting reports of the president's death.

"The president is well and he will address the people in one hour, there are some slight injuries among officials," Abdu al-Janadi, deputy information minister, told Reuters.

A TV station run by the country's opposition reported earlier that Saleh had died after an attack on the presidential palace mosque.

June 3 marked another escalation in the uprising to end Saleh's three-decade long rule of the impoverished state which started in January, Reuters reported.
